Seems straightforwards to me, what do you not understand specifically?
If you're confused about the ones with « de » and « à », use « en » and « y »
Ex: « Ne pas jeter de clés -> N'en jette pas ! »

4b : ||N'en laisse pas dans la nature||
4c : ||Participes y avec moi||
4d : ||ne la gaspillons pas||
4e : ||répare le. N'en achète pas un nouveau modèle (weird this one)||
5 is very straightforward from what i understand, just rephrase the (sentences) in imperatif

Tu utilises le pronom objet direct pour la question 4b bien qu'elle ait le partitif ?

I was doing the part 3, which is understandable
And then I go to part4 I was confused, as the sentence looks fine to me

It works as ||n'en laisse pas|| too. Actually might be better. I'll edit

btw number 5 also changes the pronouns since the example has « donner de l'argent aux associations » becoming « Donne-leur de l'argent ! »

4a. Throw your rubbish in the rubbish bin.
So I have to change to “throw them in the rubbish bin” ?

We're converting the nouns here into object pronouns

But why 4c is not “ Participes en avec moi “
I thought “y” is use for places
And “en” is use for de + noun
pearl igloo
And “en” is use for de + noun
is 4c « de » or « à »?
pearl igloo
I thought “y” is use for places
« y » can be used for places but it covers « à + noun » in general though if that noun is an animate object, like a person, we tend to default to the indirect object pronouns lui/leur.

Yes there's a number of examples that come to mind : participer à, penser à (excluding a person), s'intéresser à (again, except for people), croire à...

okay, I am trying to understand the logic behind it
since English is my second language and french is my third one
it's kind of hard for me to adopt to the grammar
native bobcat
I think logic has its limits with languages unfortunately
fast mural
also, leur and les both mean '' them'' in english right?

When you're dealing with prepositions, logic tends to go out the window
fast mural
so the different of using them is by COD and COI right

leur is closer to 'to them'

Found this with a number of examples regarding verbs + à -> y https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8vKkIAAI7Pg
fast mural
so it is used as ''Je les mange'' and ''Je leur telephone''
depends on the verb right?
pearl igloo
yup
