How It Works

Common second-conjugation future forms include ceannóidh and imreoidh. The future stem may differ visibly from the present stem.

Second-conjugation futures commonly use -óidh or -eoidh, with adjustments to the stem. Ceannaigh gives ceannóidh, while imir gives imreoidh. Compare each future with its own present form instead of simply attaching an ending to the full dictionary citation form.
