Trouble with French homework...?

Question

Can somebody translate this please?

Et le frere de Marie-Therese eat eleve dans un lycee francais ou dans une ecole americaine?

Answer 1

"Eat" is not the correct word; it should say "est," or "est-il."

And Marie-Therese's brother, is he a student in a French high school or in an American school?

Note:  Please keep in mind that "lycee" refers specifically to a secondary school i.e. a high school.  However, the term "ecole" can refer to a school in general, but frequently refers specifically to a primary school i.e. an elementary or middle school.  You may want to check your textbook to find out which definition your teacher expects.

Answer 2

'eat' is a mistake it should say 'est'

literal translation: and the brother of marie-therese is a student in a french high school or in an american school

translation that we speak: and is marie-therese's brother a student in a french high school or an american school?
