New game - Find a Word _ _ L L

votes

The idea is to find an English word of 4 letters that ends in LL.

_ _ LL.

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

Example:

A skyscraper is a tall building.

Un rascacielos es un edificio alto.

skyscraper photo: skyscraper building the_skyscraper.jpg

Eso es todo, fácil ¿no?

This was the previous challenge
