Studying for the N4

I am having trouble with this sentence. I need definitions. The internet and google translate are not being helpful. :(


お皿を落として、わってしまいました。



お皿=plate

落として=drop

わって=break

しまいました=(including the meaning "past and regret".)


(I guess that the original sentence is:

I've dropped and broken a plate.)

お皿を落として、わってしまいました。

お皿=plate

落として=drop (the TE-form of 落とす)

わって= break (the TE-form of わる(割る))

しまいました= have done / have + past participle of verb (generally, it's the translation for the present perfect.)

Online translator doesn't work with Japanese sentence, so you have to look for each word, with infinitive of verb. Besides, しまいました itself doen't have meaning and we need the verb to translat it. 


I hope this helps you.
