This is perhaps a bit off topic since it isn't about the French grammar point at hand, but the tip regarding the English construction is inaccurate. It says "Whereas in English, you will need to use a subject pronoun after than (... than I (do), you (do), he/she (does)...)". I know there are people who think this is a real rule, but it isn't how anyone actually speaks, and many dictionaries (e.g. Meriam-Webster's) acknowledge the use of object pronouns here.
Pouvez-vous me donner les recettes svp?

I can say, "I am bringing two bottles of wine there" I believe like this:
J'y apporte deux bouteilles de vin.
Can I say, "I am bringing two of them there" like this?
J'y en apporte deux.
Or would it be:
J'en y apporte deux.
Or would you use a completely different construction?
thanks, Scott
In the test question "' We want him to become a lawyer"' translates to "' ...que il devienne avocat". Why not un avocat?
