A thunder like no other..
Last night, about 3:00 A.M. the town where I live shook.
(shake is an irregular verb, shake-shook-shaken)
It was a thunder, all the people in the town saw a great flashing lightning that lit everything in the town.
(light = irregular, light-lit-lit; you can say "every person", but not "every people", because in this case people is a collective noun. You can also say simply "everyone")
My room has a window that looks out on the street, so I could barely see that lightning followed by a loud noise that shook my room.
("big" - "small" is usually about size, for sound we use "loud" - "quiet")
The next day everyone was talking about that. Even old people said that they have never heard a thunder like that.
(it's more common to use Present Perfect with never/ever, because the old people are still alive. Compare:
John has never been rude to anyone, he is such a nice prerson. = he's alive
John was such a nice man, he was never rude to anyone. = he's dead
Besides, if you talk about the thunder itself (el trueno), it's a sound, so we don't see it, but hear it. On the other hand, if you mean the whole "thunderstorm" (la tormenta), you can say: they have never seen a thunderstorm like that)
It is scary to think what it did wherever it hit.
Great job :)
A thunder like no other..
Last night, about 3:00 A.M, the town where I live was shaken by a great thunderstorm. Everyone in the town saw a great flash of lightning that lit every corner of the town. My room has a window that looks onto the street, so I could barely see the lightning that followed the thunderous noise that shook my room. The next day everyone was talking about it. Even old people said that they had never seen a thunderstorm like it. It is scary to think what it might have done, wherever it hit.
