Should I feel happy or sad, joyful or miserable? The world is slowly dying. We are burning coal, oil and gas, and making carbon dioxide. That is trapping the sun's heat. Everything is heating up. Ice caps are melting. There are wild fires. Many people are losing homes. Nature and wild life is suffering. Instead of working together and solving the problem, governments are waging war. That is sad. The temperature here is only 19 degrees. This is very comfortable. We had rain earlier. The wild strawberries and ferns are decorated in jeweled cobwebs. I have to smile.

There are many stalls with a lot of food made or grown by the people. Do you like something sweet? There's Cornish honey, there's fudge made with honey. On the same stall there are various preserves, such as marmalades. You need bread to eat with your preserve? I could see all kinds of loaves and cakes. Perhaps you bou...

Can I write a story without using the verb "to be"? No. But perhaps I could write a story with the verb "to be" in every sentence. I would like to try. The story will be very simple! Here's the first part. First we meet the family. BOS locative  is colour coded red  (including participle and secondary verbs).  BOS descriptive  is colour coded green. Where English has an active verb, Cornish often uses a passive construction with  dhe   to  or  gen  with/by . Tristan  ew  maw.  Tristan is a boy. Ma  hôr, Rosa,  dhe  Tristan.   Tristan has a sister, Ro...
