Writing about the past – WJECKeeping a diary or blog
Being able to use the past tense correctly is very important when you learn a language. It enables you to speak, write and read about past events and to understand when people talk about the past.
Why not keep a diary or blog in Welsh? It's a great way to learn and use this tense, but be careful if you want to write I came, I went, I had, I did or I made in Welsh as these are irregular forms.

Dydd Sadwrn
Codais i am hanner awr wedi saith. Bwytais i ffrwythau a bara menyn brown i frecwast ac yfais i sudd oren. Cerddais i i'r ganolfan hamdden am un ar ddeg o'r gloch. Gwelais i Dan a Kim yno. Siaradais i gyda nhw. Nofiais i am hanner awr ac yna gwisgais i'n gyflym. Rhedais i adre i gael cinio. Ar ôl cinio, daliais i'r bws i'r dre. Cerddais i i'r cae pêl-droed a chwaraeais i gêm dda gyda'r tîm tan bedwar o'r gloch. Sgoriais i gôl! Diwrnod gwych!
