On stackoverflow, we're here to help people solve problems, not to do your homework, as your question very likely sounds… That said, here is what you want:

def main():
    Boolean = input("Give me a Boolean: ")
    String = input("Give me a string: ")
    Number = int(input("Give me a number: "))

    if Boolean == "True":
        print('"{s}"\n{s}'.format(s=String))
    try:
        print('{}\n{}'.format(int(Number)))
    except ValueError as err:
        print('Error you did not give a number: {}'.format(err))

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

A few explanations:

• Boolean is "True" checks whether the contained string is actually the word True, and returns True, False otherwise.
• then the print(''.format()) builds the double string (separated by \n) using the string format.
• finally, when converting the string Integer into an int using int(Integer), it will raise a ValueError exception that gets caught to display a nice message on error.

the if __name__ == "__main__": part is to enable your code to be only executed when ran as a script, not when imported as a library. That's the pythonic way of defining the program's entry point.
