Question 1

How would I change this sentence to say 'Make him put it in this binder' to practice the causative faire with double pronouns?

Accepted Answer

You would say Faites-la-lui mettre dans ce classeur. In an affirmative command using the causative faire, both object pronouns attach to the imperative verb (faites) with hyphens. The direct object (la, replacing the feminine noun l'annexe) comes before the indirect object (lui, representing the person being directed).

Question 2

What is the difference between une annexe and un appendice?

Accepted Answer

Both can translate to 'appendix', but they have different uses. Une annexe is an attachment or appendix to a document, contract, or business report. Un appendice refers to the anatomical organ in your body or a supplementary section at the end of a literary or scientific book.

Question 3

Is classeur the only word for a folder or binder?

Accepted Answer

No, but it specifically means a ring binder. If you meant a regular file folder, you would use un dossier (which can also mean a computer folder or a case file) or une chemise (a thin paper or cardboard folder).

Question 4

Could I use the verb placer instead of mettre in this context?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you could say Placez l'annexe. While mettre is the everyday, highly versatile word for 'to put', placer is slightly more formal and implies putting something carefully into its designated or proper spot.
