I can't add my Download folder (or any folders) to my Dock

I was missing my download folder on the dock and I tried to add it but nothing happened. I removed my Applications & Documents folders from the dock and I can't re-add them either? What's up?

can you not drag and drop them? first, you can try dragging the "documents" folder. you need to drop it to the right of the faint vertical line in the dock shown below.


to re-add the "application" folder to your dock, open your finder application window. then hover over the word "applications" in the toolbar and you will see the folder appear that you can then drag and drop to the dock. once again to the right of the vertical line on the dock.
