To hold any kind of a conversation in Scottish Gaelic, you need firm grasp of the Gaelic verb. Sentences tend to start with a verb, and even to answer a simple 'yes' or 'no' in Gaelic requires the confident and correct use of verbs. Not only does this book explain the formation and function of all parts of the Gaelic verb, but it also goes beyond the brief descriptions to be found in most course books. Gaelic Verbs is packed with step-by-step explanations, numerous examples in a wide range of registers, and copious notes. Within its covers you will find help with all those aspects of gaelic verbs which can be so troublesome to learners, including Verbal Nouns, the Assertive Verb, Defective Verbs and Irregular Verbs. You will also encounter much incidental vocabulary, grammar, and sound examples of usage.

Praise for the first edition:
'Undoubtedly the clearest, most comprehensive explanation of Gaelic verbs and their convolutions! Highly recommended for serious learners.' -David Wright, Web developer and software engineer, Isle of Skye.

'Gaelic Verbs, by Colin Mark, provides both the newcomer to Gaelic and the seasoned learner an immensely varied and immediately useful set of maps into the heart of the all-important Gaelic verb.

'Gaelic Verbs unravels, simply and accessibly, the mystery of how Gaelic verbs work and how they may be applied in everyday conversation. Mark's book would be an invaluable reference work in the library of any Gaelic learner.' -Toirstean MacRobainn, Director, Scottish Gaelic Learners Association of the Bay Area.

'I find Gaelic Verbs a very good resource for the learner, and also for the native speaker who wants to know how the language works. To those with experience only of English, Gaelic verbs may seem somewhat difficult and complicated. Colin Mark's simplified and systernised approach serves to maximise the student's understanding of how they work. But the idiomatic use of verbal forms, which may not always follow cold logic, is not ignored, and Mr Mark's work gives appropriate expression to the beauty and uniqueness of Gaelic phraseology and idiom.' -Ruairidh Macilleathain, Gaelic broadcaster (BBC Alba), journalist and writer.
