What happens if you want to talk about past jobs? You might be talking to someone who no longer works, or once had an incredible job or you might just be struggling to keep a conversation going. We’ll go over the simple past tense just now. You already know the structures.

We know that  A bheil  becomes  An robh …?  in the past tense,  tha  becomes  bha  and  chan eil  becomes  cha robh.

A bheil … ? -> An robh …?  

Nach eil …? -> Nach robh …?  

Càit  uses  a bheil  so that also changes to  an robh  in the past tense,  tha  becomes  bha  and  chan eil  becomes  cha robh.  

For every other question, change  tha  to  bha .

Change  tha  to  bha  in  ‘s e  statements and their questions too to talk about past jobs.
