YOU SAID:
there once was a man who lived in a house
INTO JAPANESE
ある家に一人の男が住んでいた
BACK INTO ENGLISH
A man lived in a house
INTO JAPANESE
男は家に住んでいた
BACK INTO ENGLISH
the man lived at home
INTO JAPANESE
男は家に住んでいた
BACK INTO ENGLISH
the man lived at home
That didn't even make that much sense in English.
