RHAN 1

	1.	Ble?	-	Where?

	We can use Ble? in front of the Present Tense forms of the verb 'to be'.

			Ble rwyt ti'n mynd heno?
			- Where are you going tonight?

			Ble mae Gwen yn mynd yfory?
			- Where is Gwen going tomorrow?

			Ble r(yd)ych chi'n siopa?
			- Where do you shop?

	2.	Obviously, your replies will vary.  Remember that we can use 'i' (to) in 		front of a PLACE or in front of a VERB.  It is always followed by a Soft 		Mutation.	

		(i)	In front of a place

			'Dw i'n mynd i Fangor yfory.
			- I'm going to Bangor tomorrow.

			R(yd)yn ni'n mynd i barti nos yfory.
			- We're going to a party tomorrow night.

		(ii)	In front of a verb  -  to denote an intention

			'Dw i'n mynd i edrych ar y g�m ar y teledu.
			- I'm going to watch the game on television.

			Mae fy ngwraig yn mynd i siopa.
			- My wife is going to shop (shopping).

			'Dw i'n mynd i chwarae.
			- I'm going to play.

	3.	Pryd?	-	When?

		Notice that we use ‘mae’ after ‘Pryd?’ in the Present Tense (and not ‘ydy’)

		Pryd mae'r Parchedig Jones yn mynd i'r eglwys / capel?
			- When is Reverend Jones going to church / chapel?
				- When does Reverend Jones go to church / chapel?											
		Pryd mae Mr Chalk yn mynd i'r ysgol?
	- When is Mr Chalk going to school?
	- When does Mr Chalk go to school?

			Pryd mae Gwen yn mynd i siopa?
			- When is Gwen going shopping?

		Pryd mae'r g�m?
			- When's the match?

	4.	Notice that we always use 'the' ('r) in front of the following Welsh 			nouns although we don’t use ‘the’ in English.

		i'r gwely	-	to bed			i'r gwaith		-	to work
		i'r ysgol	-	to school		i'r dref		-	to town
		i'r eglwys -	to church		i'r capel		-	to chapel

	5.	Remember that we mutate 'dydd' to 'ddydd' when we want to convey 		on a certain day  -  (meaning next....when speaking in the future   -  or 		last...when speaking in the past)

		dydd Sul		-	Sunday		dydd Llun	-	Monday
		dydd Mawrth	-	Tuesday	dydd Mercher 	-          Wednesday		         dydd Iau	       	- 	Thursday       dydd Gwener  	-          Friday			dydd Sadwrn 	- 	 Saturday	

	6.	When replying we can use a couple of words or a complete sentence

		Pryd mae'r Parchedig Jones yn mynd i'r eglwys / capel?
		- (Mae e'n mynd i'r eglwys / capel) ddydd Sul.
				
		Pryd mae Mr Chalk yn mynd i'r ysgol?
		- (Mae e'n mynd i'r ysgol) ddydd Llun.
										
			Pryd mae Gwen yn mynd i siopa?
		- (Mae hi'n mynd i'r dref i siopa) ddydd Mawrth.
		
		Pryd mae'r g�m?
