”Je suis descendu au escalier roulant.”

Can you say this? Or would it have to be “J‘ai descendu l’escalier roulant.”

Does “aimer bien quelqu’un” still have a romantic connotation (albeit lesser than love)?

Is it more akin to “I think he/she is cool/fun” or does it indicate a crush on someone?

Best translation for " In the Caribbean"

Bonjour !

Prepositions are my downfall...

Is it better to say " Dans " or " Aux" as in Dans les Caraibes or Aux Antilles ? Or are both equally acceptable ?

Merci

Family = people?

I was surprised to see on one of my tests that "à ma famille" could be replaced by "y," since I thought you could not use "y" as a pronoun for people. Could you use "y" in place of "à mes amis" as well, for example -- as in "Je pense à mes amis." --> "J'y pense"? Can you please clarify this rule? Thanks!

I can meet her today

I can meet her today = je peux la rencontrer aujourd'hui.

Why do we use "la" instead of "lui'? I'm confused as to when to use le and lui, la and lui. What's the difference?
