Favours is the sixty-fifth (assuming read left to right) skill in the Welsh language tree. It contains four lessons and teaches the future tense through the conjugation of gwneud, as well as "may" using cael.
Grammar Notes[]
This is the future conjugation for the verb gwneud, which means "to do" but is mostly used as an auxiliary in the future tense (like "will" in English):

|---|---|---|---|
| I will | Gwna(f) i | Wna(f) i? | Wna(f) i ddim |
| You will (inf. sing.) | Gwnei di | Wnei di? | Wnei di ddim |
| You will (formal and/or plural) | Gwnewch chi | Wnewch chi? | Wnewch chi ddim |
