These are sentences that were written in different tests/exams by some students of the school I went to (not elementary school).
They tried to translate using an English/French dictionary. They didn't seem to know how it works though.
I want you to try to figure out what a sentence is suposed to mean.
Here's an easy one :
She east a school.
If you know french well, wait a bit before giving the answer.
Or try this one that nobody managed to understand in my class until our teacher told us:
She death walnut.

I don't know any french, so sorry I can't figure out the translations, but if you want more amusing language mishaps you should check out the ever-classic engrish.com!

In French, 'To drown' is noyer, which also means walnut.

Cleveland: The only British idiom I know is that "fag" means cigarette.
Peter: Well then tell this cigarette to get out of my face!
