 Irish morphology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Other aspects of Irish morphology, while typical for a Celtic language, are not typical for Indo-European, such as the presence of inflected prepositions and the initial consonant mutations.
The morphology of Irish is in some respects typical of an Indo-European language.
If a pronoun is not the subject or if a subject pronoun does not follow the verb (as in a verbless clause, or as the subject of the copula, where the pronoun stands at the end of the sentence), the so-called disjunctive forms are used:

 Fios Feasa: Irish Grammar for Linguists
Irish is an Indo-European language with the same inherited grammatical categories as other languages of the same family.
Adjectives have comparative forms, used only with the copula (or a particle níos derived from it); there are no explicit superlative forms, the superlative being expressed syntactically.

Although it has been assumed that the modern Indo-European languages no longer lexically disambiguate such constructions, some Slavic languages are able lexically to differentiate higher- and lower-level constituency within coordinate structures.
Ambiguity in these copula coordinate structures is functional, relational or hierarchical.
The best known among themwere Primus Truber, Jernej Kopitar, France Prešeren and Ivan Cankar,and it was their minimalist notion of the Slovene literary languagethat each time prevailed in the end.

So, in most Indo-European languages, verbs agree with their subjects (Latin: amo 'I love' amas 'you-sg love' amat 'he loves', etc.).
Auxiliary verbs in English and Copula be DO move, IF they are finite.
English marks aspect by a combination of auxiliary verbs (be or have) and markings on the main verb (-ing, or -en/-ed).
