Was tested on this logic puzzle earlier, can you do it (think I've set it out correctly)?..

Jill (Eng) -> John (Eng/Fr) -> Jack (Fr)

Jill is English and can see John who can't see Jill. John can see Jack, but Jack, who's French, can't see John. Can Jill say for definite if John is English or French and what is your reasoning for suggesting your answer?..
