Hi Joan,

I would say -

1. Inscrire sur un carnet = I prefer in English to write/note down

2. Copier sur un ami

3. Inscrire quelques phrases d'un livre sur...

Hope this helps!

Copier une phrase dans un carnet. -- To copy a phrase FROM a notebook.
(Used this way, in my understanding, it is the notebook you copy it FROM not where you copy it to.)

I copy the sentence in a book. -- This sounds a bit strange in English, but in French it means that the original sentence is in the book from which you take it and copy it to somewhere else.
