Order is the thirty-ninth skill in the Welsh language tree. It teaches how to use the phrases "after" and "before" to lend a sense of time to your Welsh. It has five lessons.
Grammar Notes[]
Ar ôl and cyn are grammatically speaking timeless, so anything following these phrases will be in the present tense regardless of the tense of the remainder of the sentence:
- Ar ôl i fi godi, ces i frecwast. = After I had got up, I had breakfast.
- Cyn i chi ymddeol, aethoch chi i'r Eidal. = Before you had retired, you went to Italy.
The phrases ar ôl i and cyn i are followed by an object pronoun or the person who is doing the action. The word following the pronoun is also affected by lenition.
