ABSTRACT
All Irish verbs are marked for tense, but vary as to whether a pronominal subject is marked with a suffix added to the tense marker, or by the default tense and a separate pronoun. Most of the personal endings given in the following tables are not used in all dialects. Only in Munster is the full range of personal endings found in preference to separate pronoun subjects. Third-person singular forms always use separate pronoun subjects. Summarizing from the paradigms, it can be observed that second-person singular forms also lack personal endings in the present tense, as do the second-person plural in all tenses except the past. Even where all dialects use the same tense and person suffixes, the pronunciation can vary dramatically from region to region. The future-tense ending -f(a)idh/oidh is pronounced differently in all three provinces.
