i tried reading this out loud and it sounded like i was singing old mccdonald had a farm
I typed "This child runs this way with this cat." I feel like this should also be correct!
와/과 can also mean "with" so technically..saying "with this/the cat" is right^^
Prepositions are funky - we need to translate for context. In this case, I think it can be with, because they mean the exact same thing in English. "x and y run this way together" and "x runs this way with y" mean the exact same thing. "and...together" means "with."
Lol I kind of scrambled all the words and put "This cat and this child run together in this direction"
Why have 이 아이와 이 고양이 if the correct answer is "this child and cat" according to duo
Accepted 2019 as "this child and this cat".
In English if the two things are near each other, we often use "the/this/that" and their plurals only on the first.
When we know which things we are talking about:
The cat and mouse are playing games. The cat and the mouse are playing. These roses and daisies grow quickly.
......... When we need to be specific because there are more choices:
The cat and the dog play games. The cat and that dog play. These roses and these daisies grow quickly. That rose and this daisy do not grow slowly.
Mine was "This child and this cat run together in this direction", but they didn't accept it ㅠㅠ

함께 is more formal and common in written Korean.
-
같이 is more colloquial and common in spoken Korean.
In english, the border for this and that is if you can touch it or not. That makes me curious what the korean border is.
Where did you learn that? It's incorrect. You can use "this" in English for something three feet away from you (that's not a border, just an example" - especially if you are comparing it to something else 20 feet away. You just use "this" for the closer one.
I answered "This child and this cat runs together in this direction" i feel i answered right but i got it wrong. I am getting lost
"run" not "runs" - you have a plural subject - third person plural, not third person singular.

Man, I got this as a listening exercise in Demonstratives Lvl 1 3/3. How many times have I pressed the slow-mo button?
I switched "cat" and "child" because I wasn't paying attention. This is so sad.
I put "This child and this cat run together in this direction" The word order is different but doesnt change the meaning at all, feel like this should be a correct answer :(
@Tony - "Together" is not inferred. It is actually there in the form of 같이. The same meaning as 함께.
@Judith - it's kind of a similar difference between the following two sentences: A) "He and I went to a cafe together". B) "He and I went together to a cafe". A) sounds more natural, that's all. At least to me.
In the speaking exercise, why does the app always think I'm done talking when I'm still speaking? I pause for literally half a second, and Duolingo says I got it incorrect because I didn't say the rest of the sentence.
A lot of these long ones make my brain hurt at first but once you dissect each part into its own little pieces it makes a bit more sense.
My accent does not help me in this case, i am so far away from Korea, all the way in Africa
this child and this cat is running along the same side. 도 말 되지 않나요?? 저는 이 문장에 여러가지 번역이 있을수 있다고 생각해요
It's not. It's a baby sentence to help you piece together other words. And "Stupidest" isn't a word, my friend.
"[…]part and counterpart wandered independently about the earth in the stupidest manner for a while, till the late time came." — Thomas Hardy, Tess of the D’Urbervilles, 1891.
@Jaggi.licious is right. "Stupidest" is a word and has been used for decades. Also, although this sentence can be used to help learn words and sentence structure, that doesn't mean it can't also sound silly. Those two things aren't mutually exclusive.
More sources backing up that "stupidest" is a word:

@smolfx - curious. Didn't you read your own comment? That wins the "stupidest" race with ridiculous ease... Or is yours "sensiblest"? :-)
I got wrong for typing "runs" instead of "run" although all the rest was good. It's kinda annoying - -'
like if we where learning English here, I thought I was the only one annoyed by this¡
@Sylve - I no comings here not to learn no English languages all so. The same boating I run on the same boating you ranning here into these forum of the Duo Lingos.
Omg this came up and she just started reading it all and I got so nervous... That's a lot to throw at somebody unexpectedly lmao. I accidentally switched cat and child and got it wrong due to the pressure. Wtf, duo
It told me translation was : "run to this place together" seems weird... this way or this direction seems best
Sure Duolingo, this seems like the usual and daily conversations you would have with anyone¡ not¡
This child with this cat run in this direction together The same I guess
