Dwā€™i wedi ei neud e!

Wasnā€™t too sure about ā€œIā€™d like toā€ and went with ā€œHoffwn iā€¦ā€ but if thatā€™s not correct Iā€™ll do the whole thing again.

Just found my way back to this forum, would love if these fun exercises were a regular thing :slight_smile:

Iā€™m doing some work on an overall picture for what the most useful extra things to be doing would look like - so thereā€™ll definitely be more stuff coming down the tubes before too long, of some kindā€¦ :slight_smile:

Now done. Went thruā€™ it quite quickly the first time but with limited additional vocab; but the second time I made sure I added a greater variety of words. I still have to stop and think with past tenses as to which kind each one is - but the forms of future tense (thankfully not included in the test) are in a category of their own!

I enjoyed making sentences and managed to complete the exercise in 5 minutes.

I keep a box of little cards each with a few words written in Welsh so that when I go out I can slip a card into my pocket and at every opportunity take out the card and try to make a sentence out of each of the words on the card. I find this helpful because I am at that stage in my life when I forget things so easily, even English words do not always come when they are needed.
I must add that I do not say these sentences aloud unless in a remote country lane or in my car.
