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.

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?

Ici vs. làDe temps en temps et de plus en plus, je voix les français utilisent <là> au lieu de <ici>. Est-ce qu'il y a une règle pour ici et là lorsqu'on fait référence à un endroit?

Audrey adore le mercredi/les mercredis

I was marked wrong for "Audrey adore les mercredis". It wanted "Audrey adore le mercredi". But it appears from the web that both are used, even if the singlar version is more popular.

"J'aime le mercredi" has 232,000 hits

"J'aime les mercredis" has 43,300 hits

So shouldn't this lesson cover the duality and shouldn't the quiz question accept both answers?
