I am trying to determine when to use 'emmener' and when to use 'amener' and to some extent 'apporter'. All of the examples seem to imply that the first two refer to people, whereas 'apporter' refers to things. Is that right? Is there any guidance regarding the usage of 'emmener' vice 'amener' ? Both translate to take or bring and in some contexts the meaning is lead. Thanks.

It says:
You use à when describing going to or being in a city.
And you use de to indicate being, coming or returning from a city.
So then how do you decide if you want to express being in a city since you use both de and à?

Hi, it's not clear to me from the instructions whether you're meant to attempt the dictees after only one listen, or whether it's better to listen more than once. Is there a guideline here, or is it just left to the student to choose?
Thanks
