Please be patient

Our volunteers look into many questions every day; sometimes it takes them a little while to answer.

Pro tip: you can rename the thread title with `.tr <thread name>`

Make it descriptive, including relevant context, but also to the point. This way you improve your chances of getting a more relevant and specific answer.

Y replaces à + noun/place and en replaces de + noun/place.
J'arrive à Paris => J'y arrive
J'arrive de Paris => J'en arrive

[quiet osprey]

with the phrase il y a... what would y be replacing there?

also wait what, what is the difference between those to examle sentences

and if en replaces de in a sentence, i also remember from my class that dont also replaces de for something. what is the difference?

[latent crypt]

The pronoun there is not replacing anything, it’s idiomatic there

[latent crypt]

J'arrive à Paris -> J'y arrive
I'm coming to Paris -> I'm coming to there

J'arrive de Paris -> J'en arrive
I'm coming from Paris -> I'm coming from there
