Find a word related to S M O T H E R
The idea is to find an English word (synonym or antonym related to the word
– S M O T H E R (verbo) and then write a simple sentence in English and Spanish for that word.
Or an unusual use of the word.
Example:
A blanket can be used to smother a fire.
Una manta se puede utilizar para sofocar un incendio.
Pictures are a good idea.
