The translation of 'I caught the dog' in Italian would be 'Catturai il cane'. If you want to use the verb 'caught' in a more general sense, like in 'I caught the ball' or just 'I caught it', you can use the verb 'prendere', and the sentence would be 'Ho preso la palla' or 'L'ho presa'."}, {"role": "user", "content": "That's really helpful, thank you. What about 'I caught the' on its own, without specifying what was caught?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "If you want to translate 'I caught the' without specifying what was caught, you can use the phrase 'Ho preso il' or 'Catturai il'. However, please note that 'Catturai' is typically used for animals. For a more general translation, you can use 'Ho preso'. If you want a literal translation, you could say 'Ho catturato il', but this is more formal and less common in everyday conversations."}]
