YOU SAID:
I tried to scream but my head was under water
INTO JAPANESE
悲鳴を上げようとしたが頭が水に浸かった
BACK INTO ENGLISH
I tried to scream but my head was soaked in water
INTO JAPANESE
悲鳴を上げようとしたが頭が水に濡れた
BACK INTO ENGLISH
I tried to scream but my head got wet
INTO JAPANESE
悲鳴を上げようとしたが頭が濡れた
BACK INTO ENGLISH
I tried to scream but my head got wet
That didn't even make that much sense in English.
