The analytic form is alone used, there being no inflections for persons
or numbers.
The Irish present is used as the future, and there is no present
tense.[279]
The past-participle is invariably _te_ hard, and is not varied as in
Irish.
There are no consuetudinary tenses.
[279] In the old form of the verb, in German, the present tense
exercised likewise the function of the future.
