Talk:Welsh/Verbs

This article needs major re-writing. In actual fact there are three inflectional tenses: future, conditional and preterite: all with person conjugations. All the rest of the tenses are formed with auxiliaries. However in literary Welsh, the future is often used when talking in the present, and there are also inflectional imperfect and perfect tenses. I will do this unless there is opposition. 86.26.86.10 (talk) 12:41, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

Compount tenses/Present: Examples
I think some of the sentences given as examples need amendment, but I could be wrong. What I've noticed is as follows:

The one about Sam being a teacher:

The second sentence is most likely to be in response to a question of some sort, or made as an introduction, while the third would be a general statement.

The one about Jane reading:

"Sydd yn" and "sy'n" are relative, so they really mean something more akin to "Jane is the one who is reading" or "It's Jane who's reading". Given that this difference isn't yet shown in the table, I think this example would be best removed for now unless someone has enough knowledge to complete the table.
