Tu nous apportes l'ordonnance aujourd'hui ?

Questions & Answers about Tu nous apportes l'ordonnance aujourd'hui ?

Why is nous placed before the verb instead of after it like in English?
In French, object pronouns like nous (meaning 'us' or 'to us') usually go directly before the verb they belong to. So instead of saying 'You bring us,' you literally say 'You us bring' (Tu nous apportes).
Is nous acting as a direct or indirect object in this sentence?
It is an indirect object. The verb apporter takes a direct object for the thing being brought (l'ordonnance) and an indirect object for the person receiving it (nous). You can think of it as bringing the prescription to us.
I learned that 'to bring' can also be amener. Why do we use apporter here?
Apporter is used when you are bringing an inanimate object, like a prescription, a book, or a bag. You use amener when bringing a person or an animal (something that can walk on its own).
Is it normal to ask a question just by adding a question mark at the end?
Yes! In spoken and informal French, it is very common to ask a question just by raising the pitch of your voice at the end of a normal statement. You do not always need to use est-ce que or flip the subject and verb.
