Google Translate??
Google translate is not an effective translating resource for beginner language learners. More often than not, the site will translate sentences literally and not in the context students want them. As well, the site often “fixes” grammatical errors and will translate the sentence using verb tenses students have not learned yet…a dead give away. Please use Wordreference instead.
