Verbs in Irish are rather straightforward. There are only 11 irregular verbs, and their irregularity is largely confined to how they change between the tenses, rather than within the tenses themselves.

The regular verbs in Irish come in two types — 1st Conjugation and 2nd Conjugation verbs. Generally speaking, 1st Conjugation verbs have only one syllable. 2nd Conjugation verbs have two or more. It is important to remember this, as it affects the way you will conjugate the verb.
