Question re: placement of / use of "a"
In match the words (French 3 Level 1), the proper translation of "She bought us a beautiful gift" is given as "Elle nous a acheté un beau cadeau". I know if I wanted to say something like "You bring us", I would say "Vous nous apportez". Could someone please help me understand why the "a" is used in the first example? Merci beaucoup!
