Question 46

AMENER Definition: To bring. What? A person, animal or any object capable of movement on its own. How? The person or object is driven, guided or led, not carried. What next? The person or object is left at the destination without the speaker. The verb amener is based on the verb “mener” which means to lead. So when you use this verb, imagine leading a person, animal or mobile object to a certain destination and then leaving them there. Examples: * J’amène mon fils à l’école = I bring my son to school. * Amènes ta petite amie chez nous = Bring your girlfriend to our place (Drop off your girlfriend at our place). * Si Marie avait les temps, elle aurait amené sa voiture au garage avant de partir. = If Marie had the time, she would have brought her car to the garage before leaving. BUT: Naturally, this being the French language, there’s an exception to the ‘leaving the object at the destination’ rule. Amener is also appropriate to use in circumstances when you’re bringing someone along. So: • Est-ce que tu l’ameneras à dîner demain? Are you bringing her to dinner tomorrow? EMMENER Definition: To take What: a person, animal or any object capable of movement on its own. How: The person or object is driven, guided or led, not carried. What next: The speaker stays with the object at the destination. Emmener is also rooted in the verb “mener.” So this verb is appropriate if you’ve led, driven or physically guided someone/something to a destination. But this one is only appropriate if you plan on staying with the person upon arrival. Examples: Aimerais-tu que je t’emmène dîner? = Would you like me to take you out for dinner? Emmène-moi avec toi! = Take me with you! Il emmène son chien au parc chaque samedi matin. He takes his dog to the park every Saturday morning. APPORTER Definition: To bring, to take What: An object that’s incapable of going anywhere on its own How: By carrying it. Apporter is rooted in the verb “porter,” which means to carry. The prefix “a-“ signifies that something is being physically carried to another place. For example: Qu’est que vous apportez au pique-nique? = What are you bringing to the picnic? Peux-tu m’apporter une tasse de thé? = Can you bring a cup of tea? Ils apportaient leurs livres à l’école chaque jour. = They brought their books to school every day. BUT: In a few circumstances, it’s acceptable to use amener although apporter is the technically correct verb. For example when invited to a dinner, it wouldn’t be unusual to ask: Qu’est-ce que je devrais amener? or Qu’est-ce que j’amène? (What should I bring?) instead of “Qu’est-ce que je devrais apporter?” EMPORTER Definition: To take away (with you) What: An object incapable of going anywhere on its own How: By carrying it. Again, we’ve got the base verb “porter” which indicates that something is being carried. In this case, however, the emphasis is on the fact that the object is going away with you, as opposed to that you’re taking it to somewhere else.

Answer 46

You may find it helpful to remember that “emporter” is the French equivalent of the term “take out” or “take-away,” with respect to meals taken from a restaurant. Examples: * J’ai emporté mon parapluie ce matin mais il n’a pas plu. I took my umbrella (with me) this morning but it didn’t rain. * Emporte ces papiers. Take away those papers. * Tu emportes toujours un livre. = You always take along a book. * Repas à emporter . = Take-away food
