Conditional tense - 'am bitheadh?' vs 'am bithinn'/'am biodh?'/'am biomaid?', what's the difference?
Bhitheadh / Am bitheadh? are considered emphatic forms of the more commonly used Bhiodh/Am biodh?
Whichever you choose to use, these are used by second and third persons singular and plural: Bhiodh tu, Bhiodh e/i, Bhiodh sibh, Bhiodh iad.
Unlike other tenses, we still have synthetic forms for the ...

Taing airson an fhiosrachaidh. Cha robh mi eòlach air 'robots.txt'. Cha robh fhiosam gun robh a leithid ann.

Tha mi a' dol leat 's gur e rud mìorbhailteach feumail a tha ann an tasglann. Bheir mi sùil eile air feuch nach e dearmad agam fhìn a tha ann nach do mhothaich mi aithneachadh do dh'ùghdar.

Re: Query about Prepositions
Taing dhuibh airson comharrachadh sin dhomh. Chì mi anns na leasain tràth nach eil an seagh 'to' cho soilleir.
Thanks for pointing this out. I can see from earlier lessons that the meaning 'to' is not clear.

Re: A bheil?, Am bheil and Eil?
A bheil? is the standard written form.
In spoken language Eil? is not an uncommon contracted form.
I've only ever heard Am beil? in Lewis and with strong eclipsis where it sounds as A meil?
