Welsh Verbs & Tenses
Clear tense control makes narratives and accounts readable. Focus on high-frequency patterns you can use accurately under pressure.
Useful patterns
• Present: dw i’n / rydw i’n + verb noun
• Past (short): es i, ces i, gwelais i… (learn common ones)
• Past with “wedi”: dw i wedi + verb noun
• Future: bydda i’n / base + -a i patterns as taught in your course
Stick to forms you are sure of in the exam; accuracy beats risky complexity.
Narrative tip
Decide the main tense of the story and stay consistent.
Use time markers: ddoe, y bore yma, yfory, wedyn, ar ôl hynny.
Practice questions
1. Give one way to form a past meaning.
2. Why stay consistent with tense?
