Continuous tense
In Welsh there is only one present continuous tense. Therefore, Dw i'n gwisgo can mean I wear or I'm wearing depending on the context. Look at these examples: | Beth dych chi'n wisgo i'r gwaith fel arfer? | What do you wear to work usually? | | Dw i'n gwisgo crys i'r gwaith. | I wear a shirt to work. | | Beth dych chi'n wisgo heddiw? | What are you wearing today? | | Dw i'n gwisgo crys glas heddiw. | I'm wearing a blue shirt today. |
In this activity we will learn to talk about school uniform.
If we're using the polite form we ask:
Beth dych chi'n wisgo?
But, to ask a friend or a child we'd say:
Beth rwyt ti'n wisgo?.
Notice that we mutate 'gwisgo' to 'wisgo' when asking this question. The reason for this is that we would say 'Beth wyt ti'n ei wisgo' in formal and written Welsh. Even though we drop the word 'ei' when talking we keep the mutation that it causes. | Dw i'n gwisgo gwisg ysgol. | I wear a school uniform. | | Dw i ddim yn gwisgo gwisg ysgol. | I don't wear a school uniform. | | Dw i'n gwisgo sgert i'r ysgol. | I wear a skirt to school. | | Dw i'n gwisgo trwser byr i'r ysgol yn yr haf. | I wear shorts to school in summer. | | Dw i'n gwisgo siwmper dwym i'r ysgol yn y gaeaf. | I wear a warm jumper to school in winter. |
