  This lesson introduces the Future Tense or Aimsir Fháistineach of the Irish verb.
   
  Stéibh d'amhrán: a verse of a song -- Summer will come
 

Summer will come and grass will grow
The green foliage will come on the top of the branches
My secret love will come with the dawn (with the whitening of the day)
And she will commence (to play) a tune with sorrow after me (She will cry at my departure?)

   
  barr na gcraobh = top of the branches. This is an example of a weak plural in the tuiseal ginideach. Tuiseal ginideach / genitive case will be dealt with later. Ar bharr = on (a) top.
  an samhradh - summer; an fomhar - autumn; an geimhreadh - winter; an t-earrach - spring.
  buail suas = (Commence to) play (a tune); = seinn suas port.
