There are two sentences in this text using amener and emmener in ways I thought were more correctly expressed with emporter: Taking too many clothes along with mother, and bringing one’s dolls to bathe in the sea. We’re talking about objects here, either personal or something brought from one place to another. I suppose the dolls could be expressed with apporter, as they were brought to Lola, but why did you choose amener and emmener, which I’ve studied as being used only in reference to people, animals, or vehicles?

The example listed in the lesson specifies "a bakery in the town".

Une boulangerie dans la ville.

What if I was speaking in general, such as "Yes, there's a bakery in town."

Would this be translated as "Oui, il y a une boulangerie en ville." ?

Bonjour,  dans une leçon controverse, il'y avait la question de "touts les vendredis" ou "le vendredi" pour aller en ville.  Selon la leçon, la façon correcte pour exprimer : Paul takes the train every Friday =  Paul prend le metro le vendredi.  Dans cette exercise, vous constatez que Ma soeur va nager le samedi est faux pour dire "every Saturday.  

Quelle response est bonne ou est-ce que quelque chose ou régle m'echape?

Merci,

Diane

While I understand that the phrase: “Où mets-je mes chaussures d'habitude ?” is technically correct for the exersise,   I am having a hard time mentally processing when I would ever use first-person inversion.  To me, it sounds incredibly snooty and stuck up and something I would never want to suggest that I am. 

Is there a situation I would be inclined to use the first person inversion for asking a question, and why?

Hi,

Can someone please explain what this means? Although I have known French for decades, it really didn't seem to make any sense. To be honest, I am very surprised this is level A1, as even I struggled with it and I got really confused when trying to complete the dictation, especially with this sentence.

Thanks
