Curiousty killed the cats. Right

Why is there a Spanish Grammar section and nothing on an English section?

Curiosity killed the cat.

No "s". Only one cat died. There was only one cat who was curious ... and his curiosity killed him. Just him.

The sentence is curiosity killed a cat.

Curiosamente mate un gato right.

I'm sure that you have said before.

Actually, I was there when said cat died and, contrary to popular belief, there was more than one cat, in fact, there was a whole herd of cats who were curious. Also, these cats did not have nine lives. Trust me, they're dead. I poked them to make sure.

Yes the original purpose of this site was for learning Spanish. In fact, originally, it was just the dictionary. But, I hope to keep expanding the site and include things to help Spanish-speakers learn English. It's a natural extension of what's already here.
