New Game - I L L

Question

There are many words in English that start with the letters “ill”

The idea is to find one and write a sentence using it and translate it into Spanish.

Example.

A person who cannot read or write can be called illiterate.

Una persona que no sabe leer ni escribir se puede llamar analfabeto.

Easy right?

Fácil ¿no?

This was the previous challenge.

This thread has no official corrector so please correct where you can. Gracias.
