Writing about the past – WJECMaking negative statements

Sometimes you may want to say that you – or someone else – didn't do something. How do you form the negative?

1. Add ddim after the verb:

• Es i... - I went
• Es i ddim... - I didn't go

2. Words beginning in t, c and p - aspirate mutation + ddim:

• Canais i... – I sang
• Chanais i ddim... – I didn't sing

3. Words beginning in d, g, b, m, ll, rh – soft mutation + ddim:

• Gwelais i ffilm dda yn y sinema. – I saw a good film at the cinema.
• Welais i ddim ffilm dda yn y sinema. – I didn't see a good film at the cinema.
