'SPEAK WELSH'
 
" We have now  gone over the simple sentence forms.  Firstly we combined the verb 'to be' with nouns.  Secondly we used 'to be' with adjectives, and lastly we used 'to be' with verb-nouns.  Once you have mastered these three forms, it is easy to construct sentences which contain all the elements.  We can start off with an example used above:
 
1.  Rydw i'n cerdded
     Rydw i'n cerdded ar y mynydd
     Rydw i'n cerdded ar a mynydd uchel
     Rydw i'n cerdded yn gyflym ar a mynydd uchel
 
 
    I am walking
    I am walking on the mountain
    I am walking on the high mountain
    I am walking quickly on the high mountain
 
 
2  Mae ef yn hwylio
    Mae ef yn hwylio ar a môr
    Mae ef yn hwylio mewn cwch ar y môr
    Mae ef yn hwylio mewn cwch coch ar a môr
    M ef yn hwylio mewn cwch coch ar y môr mawr
 
 
    He is sailing
    He is sailing on the sea
    He is sailing in a boat on the sea
    He is sailing in a red boat on the sea
    He is sailing in a red boat on the open sea "
