It’s a very intricate way, you know already a lot and it’s intensive Spanish. I think the app or website where you’re learning from asks you for a more natural translation rather than a literal one. But I also like to translate very literal because to me if I don’t it’s another whole different sentence just like I saw they were correcting you for in the sentences.
