Answer 5

Based on sanlee's submission:

---

Su mofeta no está capturada de la red todavía.

Your skunk is not caputured in the net yet.

"capturadA" because "mofeta" is a feminine noun - Fidalgo, Apr 27, 2010

Corrected. Thank you, Fidalgo. - danrivera, Apr 27, 2010

Answer 6

Su pesca no está capturado de la red ahora.

Your fish is not caputred in the net now.

"ahora" would translate to "now" - danrivera, Apr 26, 2010

I believe "todavía" would translate to "yet" - danrivera, Apr 26, 2010

It isn't easy to have "bañarse" ("to have a bath") because the rule is "change ONE English word" - Fidalgo, Apr 26, 2010
