#### Usage notes

* In the colloquial language, the preterite of this verb is almost never used; the past tense is rendered by means of the periphrastic imperfect, e.g. roedd e’n gallu (“he could, he was able to”).
* In the colloquial language, the future tense of this verb has a present-tense meaning as well, so galla i means both ‘I can’ and ‘I will be able to’.

#### Conjugation

Note: All other forms are periphrastic, as usual in colloquial Welsh.
