KEY TO WORKSHEET 5

1.       I’d like [to have] an ice cream, Mummy.

2.       The dog will eat the bone.

5.       The weather is fine; we can swim in the sea.

Strictly, dehen rew means 'ice cream', not 'an ice cream'. If you want to say 'two ice creams' , the Cornish expression is dehen rew dywweyth, literally 'ice cream twice'.
