"They found the snake in the closet, under the shirts."

Translation: Sie fanden die Schlange im Schrank, unter den Hemden.

Why " sie haben die Schlange im Schrank gefunden, unter den Hemden" is wrong?

[bubblegod22]

Sentence structure probably -> Sie haben die Schlange im Schrank unter den Hemden gefunden

[rlamborn]

Is "Schrank" really a closet, or a cabinet? These are different things in English.

[elizabethvenegas]

My understanding is yes. Most German homes don't come with built-in closets, like in America. Many Germans purchase some type of wardrobe/bureau/dresser to keep their clothes.

Hey Duo, guess who will use the same shirt for the rest of his life?
I'm never opening my closet again

[Carlos385515]

Why not "sie haben... gefunden"?

[vieleloecher]

It is correct: "Sie haben die Schlange im Schrank unter den Hemden gefunden".

Please disconsider the comment above (seems we cannot delete comments). I had written eine Schlange, Duo wanted die Schlange, so it marked wrong my haben gefunden. Bah!
