| has gloss | eng: In the Goidelic languages, dependent and independent verb forms are distinct verb forms used either with a preceding particle (in the case of dependent forms) or, usually, without one (in the case of independent forms). For example, in Irish, the past tense of the verb ("to see") has two forms: the independent form and the dependent form . The independent form is used when no particle precedes the verb, as in ("I saw John"). The dependent form is used when a particle such as ("not") precedes the verb, as in ("I did not see John"). |
