What is the course about?
This structured workshop will provide a review of some essential Welsh grammar covered at beginner level.
What will we cover?

- noun class and adjectives (e.g. y gath fawr, y ci mawr)
- answering YES and NO using forms of the verb TO BE (e.g. ydw, oes, bydda)
- soft mutations (e.g. for marking negative sentences, questions)
- forming the past tense with GWNEUD.
What will I achieve?
By the end of this course you should be able to...
- confidently identify parts of speech in Welsh (such as verbs, adverbs, pronouns and nouns)
- identify which areas of basic grammar you need to continue working on and which you've mastered
- conjugate auxiliary verbs with increased accuracy
- identify and correct errors in word-order
- confidently change a statement into a question.
