Last week we took a close look at the short forms of the verb in the present or future tense. This week we'll look in detail at forms of irregular verbs - mynd, gwneud cael and dod.
The first three follow a similar pattern
Mynd Fe af i Fe ei di Fe aiff hi Fe aiff e Fe awn ni Fe ewch chi Fe ân nhw
Cael Fe gaf i Fe gei di Fe gaiff hi Fe gaiff e Fe gawn ni Fe gewch chi Fe gân nhw
GwneudFe wnaf i Fe wnei di Fe wnaiff hi Fe wnaiff e Fe wnawn ni Fe wnewch chi Fe wnân nhw
There are some slight variations in North Wales forms - they are all preceded by Mi rather than Fe - Mi wna i Third person singular is also different - Mi geith o or Mi geith Brian Note also that although Fe af i, Fe gaf fi and Fe wnaf i are written, in speech the f is dropped - fe â i, fe ga i, fe wna i
The verb dod however follows a different pattern:
Fe ddo i Fe ddoi di Fe ddaw e Fe ddaw hi Fe ddown ni Fe ddôn nhw
Again the Forms in North Wales exchange Mi for Fe Mi ddof i, Mi ddoi di Mi ddaw o etc. Again the f in the first person is often dropped. Mi ddo i Negatives of these are are formed in the usual way - The Fe or Mi is dropped and the ddim is added: Â i ddim, Wna i ddim, Cha i ddim, and Ddo i ddim A i Note again that words starting in CPT undergo an aspirate mutation
Again remember that direct objects to gwneud and cael use the mo construction
Chaiff e mo'r anrheg - He won't have the present Wna i mo'r gwaith - I won't do the work
Note that the answer forms to these usually take the verb form in the appropriate person in are used to answer these questions.
