I am trying to learn Latin on my own with some online books, and the book I am currently using has exercises but not the answers. I was unsure about one of my answers, so I plugged it into Google Translate (thinking that it would translate correctly because it was so simple). The answer I gave and the one I got were different, and could someone please help me out and explain why?(Or that Google was wrong)
The question was to translate : The farmer's daughter loves the waters of the forest.
My answer was: Filia agricolae aquas silvae amat.
Google's was : Silva aquas filia agricolae amat.
Aside from word order, can you tell me what went wrong?
