New Game - find a word _ _ _ _ T finished

The idea is to find an English word of 5 letters that ends in T.

_ _ _ _ T.

And then write a short sentence in English and Spanish using that word.

Eso es todo, fácil ¿no?

You could use the flint to make the fire but maybe my flame-thrower is going to do it much faster.
