        That's ungrammatical in English, you mixed plural and singular.

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

          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).

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

                  I just hate prepositions.

                    There aren't any prepositions in this sentence.
