Usage notes[edit]

  • Bod is the primary auxiliary verb in Welsh, used to form a great number of tenses; see Appendix:Welsh conjugation.
  • The two conditional tenses can be opted between freely.
  • The preterite is relatively rare and mostly interchangeable with the imperfect.
  • In the tenses given here, all forms of bod must be linked to a noun or verb with yn, wedi, or some other similar particle.
  • Bod introduces a subordinate clause only when the corresponding main clause would begin with a form of bod (the verb ‘to be’) in the present or imperfect tense.
  • Nouns are preceded with bod, or fod if the preceding verb is conjugated.
