YOU SAID:
a mouse ate my cheese and a snake ate my mouse
INTO JAPANESE
マウスは私のチーズを食べ、ヘビは私のマウスを食べました
BACK INTO ENGLISH
The mouse ate my cheese and the snake ate my mouse
INTO JAPANESE
マウスは私のチーズを食べ、ヘビは私のマウスを食べました
BACK INTO ENGLISH
The mouse ate my cheese and the snake ate my mouse
That didn't even make that much sense in English.
