Two questions

Two questions

1. Do you have a lesson on when to use la or when to use y to replace a place that has been mentioned before?

2. What are the differences among these verbs: apporter, ammener, emporter, emmener, and prendre when talking about taking someone/something with you?

Thanks in advance!

Bonjour Tuhin,

1. "la" as a pronoun does not refer to a place but it is used to refer to "her/it"

 Using le/la/l'/les = it/him/her/them (French Direct Object Pronouns)

The pronoun "y" can be used to replace a location: 

Y can replace à + [thing/object/location] (French Adverbial Pronouns)

Y = There (French Adverbial Pronouns)

Also take a look here for "là":

When to use là and when to use y

2. Take a look at the following links:

Why not prendre rather than emmener

Tu amèneras ta cousine à la fête

Translations of take

I hope this is helpful.

Bonne journée !
