Choibhneasta
“Practise Eclipsis and Lenition in relative
Clauses”

Líonaigí na bearnaí le foirmeacha an bhriathair úraithe nó shéimhithe, cibé
is gá.

cibé is gá	whichever is necessary

Only the first seven were done in class.

I think I figured this out: If a verb has both independent and dependent forms (e.g. bí and
irregulars), then

• For a direct relative clause the independent form is used.
• For an indirect relative clause the dependent form is used.

Tá mo cheann ag rothlú. “My head is spinning”.

an teach a bhfuil mé i mo chónaí ann (bí)	Indirect, uses Dependent verb form.	Preposition ann. Direct RC uses uses Indep. form atá rather than a bhfuil
