cheat sheets

Whilst cmc isn't really attempting to teach anyone Welsh grammar, we have put together in the course of our own studies some 'cheat sheets' which have helped us learn certain grammatical points. You can either print the html page as your reference, or download a text file to customise to your own needs.

note: whenever a verbnoun or pronoun is conjugated, the following sequence is used - I, you, he, she, we, you, they. There is no 'it' so use instead 'he' or 'she', whichever corresponds to the gender of the thing you're discussing (use 'he' if in doubt).

useful phrases
useful phrases - greetings
