YOU SAID:
the cat got stuck in the tree yet the dog ate the mouse
INTO JAPANESE
猫は木に引っかかったが、犬はネズミを食べた
BACK INTO ENGLISH
The cat got caught in a tree, but the dog ate a mouse
INTO JAPANESE
猫は木に引っ掛かりましたが、犬はネズミを食べました
BACK INTO ENGLISH
The cat got caught in a tree, but the dog ate a mouse
That didn't even make that much sense in English.
