I don't understand the rule about ordering object pronouns So I understand that object pronouns go in front of the verb but I just don't "get" the rule. So I know Je lui ai parlé. = I talked to him. But can someone point me at an explanation of this rule?

English vs American EnglishI find it amusing from this side of the pond. It is not good English here to say he's got a brother, he has a brother is more proper to the tongue. We ask how many siblings do you have? not have you got? Just usage, neither wrong. There are numerous expressions I see you Brits use and we don't!

'le musée du Louvre' and ' le musée d'Orsay'

Why is it 'le musée du Louvre' and ' le musée d'Orsay'

If I follow the logic for le musée du Louvre, then ' le musée d'Orsay' should be ' le musée de l'Orsay'

For some reason I thought "en" was used when referring to ideas or non-descript things? I know en is used to replace things with "de/du/de la" but...I thought it was also used to replace ideas, things, etc.
