Okay... this is my attempt at translating the following from english to russian. Do you see my mistakes?

Do you have a large family?
Yes I have five brothers and five sisters.
My godness! Do they all likve at home? Where do they sleep?
It's no problem. One sister is studying in New York. One sister is working in Denver. And one brother is working
iin germany.
So four brothers and three sisters are living at home?
We have a big family.
------
1.У вас болшая семья?
2.Да. У меня пять братьов и пять сестёр.
3.Боже мой! Они всё живют дома? Где они спят?
4.Нет проблемы. Одна сестра уситсь в Нью-Йорк. Одна сестра работает в Denver. И один брат работает в Германию.
5. Итак четверг брата и три сестры живют дома?
6. У нас болшой дом.


Two questions... when I say they work/live in ----- city is it prepositional case or accusative case?

2. Да. У меня пять братьев и пять сестёр.
3. Боже мой! Все они живут дома? Где они спят?
4. Это не проблема. Одна сестра учится в Нью-Йорке. Одна сестра работает в Денвере. И один брат работает в Германии.
5. Так четыре брата и три сестры живут в доме? (but i think more correct "...живут в одном доме" because they live in one home ^^)

Everyone wants to show that He is right and write his own comment. It`s always funny for me.)

People often post while others are doing the same. So when they send it, it happens that there are some other posts as well. Moreover, answers are similar because initial task is the same - no wonder.

It`s a specific thing about all language communities: even if the answer is simple (not this example, of course) people always write it in the different ways below each other. Don`t take it so serious.

not only language communities!
it happens almost everywhere. I guess, the common user has so poor knowledges about everything, that if he can answer any question, he can't help typing.

"Two questions... when I say they work/live in ----- city is it prepositional case or accusative case?"

First question answer: работать в ком-то/чём-то, it's prepositional case.
Second question answer: who knows.

Your answer is the most grammatically correct, I guess. But I would use "То есть" instead of "В итоге" in 5th sentence.
