How and when to use the pronouns Y and EN.
Y will replace a place, mostly starting with a preposition such as à - en - dans - chez, or a thing starting with the preposition à.
EN will replace a group of words starting with de. It can be the preposition de, the expression of quantity with de, or a group of words including a partitive article (du - de la - de - des - ...)

I reached B1 level in French 20 years ago. Now binge watching these videos to bring it all back (and actually understanding the grammar much better this time!) Amazing course, thank you! I particularly like that you made conjugation a separate course, it tends to take up all the attention from the other grammar points usually. ❤️

At last I now fully realise the importance of the lists of verbs taking à or de. Great explanation for Y and EN, I could never really understand which one to use before now. One question though, the verbs manger, sortir and donner are not on the list for needing de, is the "manger de" and "sortir de" more of an expression or special case ?

@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane 2 жыл бұрын

Correct, they are not because they are not always followed by de, more often by a partitive article :) Besides Sortir, which I thought was, I will add it :)

Hello, thanks for you video, for using COD, y and en, I had some situation, instead of describing it I want to give some examples and you tell me if I am correct or not. First-let’s say mam and her son Andrew: Mam : est-ce qu’il y a des pommes ? Andrew : Non Mama. Mam : Peux-tu en acheter ? Then Andrew bought some apples, and came back Andrew : Mam, j’ai acheté des pommes. Mam : peux-tu les obtenir ? The moment he bought the apples it became definite, so the COD can be replaced some times by COP or en, depends of the sequence of talk. Another example for this situations, let’s say two friends are talking about the apples that they saw day before in the shop, and if one of them said “je les ai acheté”, it means he bought all the apples in this shop, while if he said “j’en ai acheté” this means he bought some of it. Am I correct? I will wait for your answer, so I can continue with next examples.

Thank you for another great lesson! I have a question about exercise 4.11 point 6 in the book: “Tu as pensé à ta pauvre sœur?” I thought the pronoun Y could only replace a thing/place, not a person, so I’m wondering if the sentence “Tu y as pensé?” is correct or if the emphatic pronoun should be used instead: “Tu as pensé à elle?”

Bonjour, Dylane. May I ask why is “y” in the sentence > is put between vais and réchléchir instead of j’y? Is it because the main verb is réchléchir? Merci.

@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane 2 жыл бұрын

You are right Joshua, réfléchir is the main verb, and the one with the preposition = réfléchir à - therefore y is before it :)

Quick question: En is all about the preposition de, but I'm listening to some french disney songs right now, where they are singing; Je saurai t’aimer J’en ai rêvé Why are they using 'en' when there is no de? And why are they not using le? Later the guy sings: Je saurai t’aimer Tu l’as rêvé Here he uses le instead of en 🤔

@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane Жыл бұрын

It's all about the verb Rêver and what follows it. Rêver de (faire) quelque chose - To dream to do something = en Rêver quelque chose (less commun) = Le I hope it helps :)

Bonjour. Does this make any sense to you? "C’est un gâteau brioché. Et quand il est cuit, on y ajoute du sirop de sucre à l’alcool." 1. I do not understand the y, is it replacing gâteau even though there is no preposition à introducing it? 2. "Et quand il est cuit" - is that passive voice using être and the past participle of cuire? Merci

@sandeepstar Жыл бұрын

Maybe I figured out question 2 - I just learned that the past participle can be used as an adjective, so "il est cuit" - cuit is the p.p. and is being used as an adjective, no passive voice, C'est ca? I still do not understand the y though.

@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane Жыл бұрын

You got the second one :) As of the first one, Y is used to replace a place, even if it's the top of a cake, with the préposition à. Ajouter au gâteau = y ajouter :)
