The Perfect Progressive Theory in Welsh grammar is used to describe an action that is ongoing and has been or will be completed in the past, present, or future.
In Welsh, this tense is formed by combining the verb “to have” (wedi) with the verb stem and the particle “yn” (i.e., “yn gwneud” – doing). The participle “wedi” agrees in gender and number with the subject of the sentence. For example, “I have been learning” would be “Rwyf wedi bod yn dysgu” in Welsh.
The Perfect Progressive Theory is used to convey the idea that an action started in the past, has been ongoing, and may continue into the present or future. It emphasizes the duration or process of the action. For example, “She has been studying for five hours” would be “Mae hi wedi bod yn astudio am bum awr” in Welsh.
This tense is an important tool in Welsh grammar as it allows us to express actions that are happening over a period of time. It adds depth and nuance to our language, allowing us to paint a more vivid picture of ongoing actions in the past, present, and future.
