நான் படகில் இருப்பதைப் பற்றி கனவு காண்கிறேன். திடீரென்று ஒரு புயல் வருகிறது. எனக்கு நீந்தத் தெரியாததால் மூழ்கிவிடுகிறேன்.

இதை எப்படி இங்கிலீஷ்ல சொல்லுவீங்க?

Answer
I dream about being in a boat. Suddenly a storm comes. I drown because I don’t know how to swim.

The difference between “drown” and “sink”:
Both of these words mean to go under the water.

The word “drown” is used for living things.
Eg: In the brook, he drowned. / All of the people who were on the boat drowned.

The word “sink” can be used for both living and non-living things.
Eg: The ship sank in the sea. / When I heard the bad news, my heart sank. / The sick man is sinking fast. / The sun is sinking.

Note:
The phrase “in a boat” refers to an open vessel, like a rowing boat. When you say “on a boat,” you mean a boat with a cabin, kitchen, etc.
