How It Works

Tar has tháinig in the past: Tháinig sí; Níor tháinig sí; Ar tháinig sí? Learn the particle pattern with the verb.

Tar uses tháinig for an affirmative arrival in the past. Its negative and question take níor and ar: Níor tháinig and Ar tháinig. This particle pattern differs from verbs such as téigh, whose dependent past uses a different stem.
