    Default MORE grammar help?

    The English:
    They used to say that the old house on the corner of Roble Street was haunted. Of course, everybody in the neighborhood believed these rumors. It was an ugly, wooden house and it had two floors. It was painted grey. The windows were always closed but one could see the darkness inside through the big cracks in the wood.
    One day, I decided to go into the house because of a silly bet. As I was entering the front door, the floor creaked beneath my feet. Large spider webs hung from the walls and the ceiling. The furniture and the paintings were covered with dust. I wondered if anyone was inside. "Was anyone living in this house?"
    Suddenly, I heard a noise. A door to the right was opening slowly. My heart was beating hard. I was so afraid that I could not move. An old man appeared in the doorway. He was a short, stout man, with long, grey hair. He had a long, curly beard that reached down to his chest and he wore glasses. He looked at me with disbelief.
    "Young man, what are you doing in my house?"--He asked. Surprisingly, his voice was calm and kind. Perhaps we were mistaken. There were no ghosts here. Our neighbor was a normal man, living in a strange house.

    The spanish:
    Se solía decir que la antigua casa en la esquina de la calle Roble fue perseguido. Por supuesto, todo el mundo cree en el barrio estos rumores. Se trata de un feo, casa de madera y tenía dos plantas. Fue pintado en gris. Las ventanas estaban siempre cerradas, pero se podría ver dentro de la oscuridad a través de las grandes grietas en la madera.

    Un día, decidí ir a la casa a causa de una apuesta tonta. Como yo estaba entrando en la puerta, el suelo crujían bajo mis pies. Grandes telarañas cuelgan de las paredes y el techo. El mobiliario y las pinturas estaban cubiertas de polvo. Me preguntaba si alguien estaba dentro. "Fue alguien que vive en esta casa?"

    De repente, oí un ruido. Una puerta a la derecha estaba abriendo lentamente. Mi corazón estaba golpeando duro. Yo tenía tanto miedo que no podía moverse. Un anciano apareció en el umbral. Fue un corto, hombre robusto, con largos, pelo gris. Tenía un largo y rizado barba que llegó hasta el pecho y llevaba gafas. Me miró con incredulidad.

    "Joven, ¿qué estás haciendo en mi casa?" - Preguntó. Sorprendentemente, su voz era tranquila y amable. Tal vez nos equivocamos. No hubo fantasmas aquí. Nuestro vecino es un hombre normal, viviendo en una casa extraña.



    Sorry it's so long.
