y + en

When y and en are used together, remember that y always comes first. If you forget, just remember that, when used in the correct order, they make the sound of a donkey (c’est vrai!).

  • Y a-t-il des voitures? Oui, il y en a beaucoup.
    Are there any cars? Yes, there are a lot of them.

THIS WEEK
Instead of having a different word each day, we’re focusing on just two words — the adverbial pronouns y and en.
