Future: Bod is the fifty-fourth (assuming read left to right) skill in the language tree for Welsh. It has a total of five lessons and teaches the future tense in order to describe availability or planned actions.

Grammar Notes[]

The future tense uses the future tense of bod as an auxiliary (just like in the present tense). It is conjugated for the singular as follows:

English Welsh statement Welsh question Welsh negative
I will Bydda i Fydda i? Fydda i ddim
You will Byddwch chi Fyddwch chi? Fyddwch chi ddim
You will Byddi di Fyddi di? Fyddi di ddim
He/She will Bydd e/o/hi Fydd e/o/hi? Fydd e/o/hi ddim
We will Byddwn ni Fyddwn ni? Fyddwn ni ddim
They will Byddan nhw Fyddan nhw? Fyddan nhw ddim

Also, the future tense is used for conditional sentences ("If I were..."), with os being the equivalent of the "if" in these sentences.
