	1.	Feminine nouns

		(a)	The feminine forms of 2,3 and 4 must be used

			Remember that singular nouns are always used with numbers in Welsh

				dwy 'stafell      	-  	two rooms

			cegin			-	Mae’r gegin…..
			gardd			-	Dyma’r ardd!
			croglofft	-	yn y groglofft

		There is no mutation with masculine nouns or any plural nouns
