The man who's smokes blues drinks beer.
The german smokes prince.
The norwegian lives next to the blue house.

Nationality Norwegian Brit German Swede Dane
Color
Smokes
Pet

It's hard to set up a chart here, would have to do it in Word and then c/p so it looks nice.

Yes I did it just like that on a dry erase board but it never works out. Confused.

Just plug in the information in the various sentences.

It's the Norwegian. The one with water.

The Norwegian doesn't have the fish. He has cats.

Read each sentence and put a detail into your chart.

Then it makes no sense if he lives in the first house.

Draw five houses in a row.

Did you draw the houses? Cut out each house so you can move them around.

Brit = red house
Swede = dogs
Dane = tea
The green house is next to and to the left of the white house.
The owner of the green house drinks coffee.
The person who smokes pallmall rears birds.
The owner of the yellow house smokes dunhill
The man living in the center house drinks milk.
Norwegian = first house
The man who smokes blends lives next to the one who keeps cats.
The man who keeps horses lives next to the dunhill smoker.
The man who's smokes blues drinks beer.
German = smokes Prince
Norwegian = lives next to the blue house
The man who smokes blends has a neighbor who drinks water.
