Editing Irish syntax (section)

==Passive==
Irish commonly uses the [[Impersonal passive voice|impersonal form]] (also called the autonomous form) instead of the [[passive voice]].
{{interlinear|lang=ga|number=(15)
| Buaileadh an madra.
| beat.IMPRS.PRET the dog
| Someone beat the dog/The dog was beaten.
}}

In the perfect, the passive voice is formed by using the passive participle with the existential verb.
{{interlinear|lang=ga|number=(16)
| Tá an fhuinneog briste (ag mo dheartháir).
| EXIST.PRES the window broken (by my brother)
| The window has been broken (by my brother).
}}
