"Kaczka je chleb."

Translation: The duck eats bread.

[RuthannPi]

Duo rejected "The duck is eating bread" which is a perfectly correct English sentence. The immediately preceding answer had the exact same structure and "The horse is eating bread" was accepted. I wasn't allowed to say that my answer should be accepted...which is should have been.

[Grant817650]

Yeah i put "Duck eats bread" which is a bit lazy but literally a correct translation. This is getting rather strict.

[Jellei]

Well, if rejecting a completely wrong English sentence is 'strict'... this is a language learning site and this course is also taken by Polish people learning English (the so-called reverse tree).

Is it not possible to use "a duck's eating bread"? As the apostrohe is to replace the word is. Many thanks

[Jellei]

Sure, added.

[RattusColumba]

My autocorrect turned duck into f***. Missed that.

[shairGorgi]

Mine's been doing that, too.

[Kadence872]

Lol ducks do actually like bread

[marissa153262]

There should be a button for when you make a typo :(

[DawnOwler]

I put "Kaszka je chleb", messed up the spelling of duck and it was accepted. I don't really think this typo should be accepted since kaszka seems to be a complete different thing (grains)

[alik1989]

"Kaszka" is a diminutive of "kasza" and is mostly associated with baby food. There is a one-letter difference here and we don't teach "kaszka" in this course, so I guess it's ok as a typo. Although I agree that it should have been marked incorrect.

Please do not actually feed ducks bread. It's bad for their stomachs.

[Purplecreature]

Lol, I thought it said 'Kaczka je krab' and was thinking WOAH

[alik1989]

That would be: Kaczka je kraba, since krab is masculine animate.

I hope this English "the" really help me study Polish language....
