• Ers is used with time periods that are still ongoing in the context of a clause's verb.

I’ve lived herefor years now and I love it here.

Roeddwn i’n byw ymaers blynyddoedd erbyn hynny ond heb benderfynu gadael eto.

For time periods that have come to an end,am is used instead.

Roeddwn i’n byw ymaam flynyddoedd ond rwy wedi gadael erbyn hyn.

I lived therefor years but I’ve left now.

• Traditionally, the simple present tense rather than the present perfect is used with periods that extend to the present, although the latter is increasingly common under the influence of English.

simple present:

Rwy’n byw yma ers blynyddoedd.

I’ve lived here for years.

present perfect:

Rwy wedi byw yma ers blynyddoedd.

I’ve lived here for years.

• In very formal or literary language,er is used when a specific start time is mentioned.

Y mae’r castell yn adfailer pan fu farw’r brenin olaf.
