the preterite using gwneud and ddaru You can use the preterite form of gwneud to make a preterite of any other verbnoun, by adding that verbnoun onto the end of gwneud, e.g. nes i weld - i saw, (lit. I did see). This is an alternative to putting a preterite ending on to the verbnoun, e.g. nes i weld - gweles i - i saw. gwneud nes i nest ti naeth e naeth hi naethon ni naethoch chi naethon nhw You can also use a simpler construction to form the preterite, using 'ddaru', the subject and the verbnoun, e.g. ddaru mi weld - I saw, ddaru Sioned weld - Sioned saw. This is construction is sometimes used in north Wales. ddaru ddaru mi ddaru ti ddaru o ddaru hi ddaru ni ddaru chi ddaru nhw
