Usage notes

• In the colloquial language, the preterite of this verb is almost never used; the past tense is rendered by means of the periphrastic imperfect, e.g. roedd e’n gallu ‎(“he could, he was able to”).
• In the colloquial language, the future tense of this verb has a present-tense meaning as well, so galla i means both ‘I can’ and ‘I will be able to’.
