> My dog goes to its house.

This sentence, initially linked to #2089120, is not very likely. A more likely sentence, if it describes a one-time action, would be:

My dog is going to his|her|its house.

The simple present would generally be used here only if there were more context to show when this action occurs in general:

My dog goes into|to his|her|its house when I tell it to.

Would "My dog is going back into his doghouse" work as a translation of the Japanese?

@JimBreen, given that this sentence is part of the Tanaka Corpus, but is not good as it stands, what do you recommend?

JimBreen JimBreen January 28, 2024 January 28, 2024 at 8:44:04 PM UTC link Permalink

A better translation would be "My dog returns to its kennel". I agree with @small_snow that the past tense would be better.
There are 13 sentences containing 犬小屋 and most are better than this one.

So can this one be deleted or changed/unlinked?

I've added an alternative translation.

Thanks. I gave it the same content, so it should be automatically merged.
