Possession Exercises For Welsh Grammar

Immerse in language learning with grammar exercisesย 

Possession in Welsh grammar is quite different from English. Welsh does not use a possessive ‘s’ as we do in English. Instead, it uses a system of possessive pronouns and ‘genitive pronouns’. Where, in English, it is specified who โ€˜ownsโ€™ something by the word before the noun, in Welsh, the noun is preceded by the pronoun of the possessor.

1. *Fy* llyfr i (My) yn y tas.
2. *Ei* gath hi (Her) ar y gwellt.
3. *Dy* fodrwy di (Your) yn y blwch.
4. *Ei* pensil e (His) ar y bwrdd.
