Tá sé le bheith ar ais ar ball. - He is to be back shortly.
Bhí sí ag brath an cat a ithe. - She was going to/intending to eat the cat.
Má tá an gníomhú le bheith ann gan mhoill, úsáidtear 'ar tí' agus 'ar hob'; thig tamall a bheith le caitheamh sula ndéanfaí an gníomh, i gcás 'chun', 'ag brath', 'le'.
Tá sé chun/le/ag brath banc a robáil amárach.
bhí mé - an briathar 'bí', aimsir chaite, mar aon lena ainmní - the verb 'bí', past tense, along with its subject
ar - réamhfhocal agus 'hob' faoi réir aige - preposition governing 'thob'
thob - ainmfhocal faoi réir ag an réamhfhocal 'ar' - noun governed by 'ar'
a - aidiacht sealbhach, 3ú uatha, firinscneach - possessive adjective, 3rd singular, masculine, ag cáiliú 'dheanamh'
dhéanta - ainm briathartha - tuiseal ginideach an fhocail 'dhéanamh' - verbal noun - genitive form after 'hob'
ar thob a dhéanta - maidir leis an ghinideach anseo, is leagan reoite é. Le fada tá an nós ann gan an ainm briathartha a chur sa ghinideach.
Agus is é sin an nós is coitianta i gcás 'ar tí', 'ag brath', 'chun' srl.
