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.

Last one is great though check your first pronoun because « souvenir » is pronominal

[bleak belfry]

Ils n'en se souviennent??

[night surge]

The only critique I have is number 4

[night surge]

Remember that « se » is also a pronoun

so check your en placement

You got it right with number 8

[night surge]

This is because « à son message » would be COI not COD

[bleak belfry]

Ils ne s'en souviennent.

oops wrong reply

[night surge]

don’t forget the adverb at the end

the negation ne … plus (no longer)

[bleak belfry]

pas

[night surge]

no

it’s literally in the question

[rancid steppe]

4 : ||elles les y joint||
otherwise, looks good

[night surge]

aw man I was trying to get them to write it first

[rancid steppe]

ups

[bleak belfry]

At 4 because we have "à" in the front we use y??

[night surge]

The pronoun « y » replaces any instance of « à + group »

[bleak belfry]

even tho it doesn t imply the place of an action

[night surge]

Je suis arrivé à le faire (I managed to do it) -> J’y suis arrivé (I managed it)

[bleak belfry]

because à son message answers the question ,,quoi?"

[night surge]

[night surge]

well à quoi

quoi answers « les photos »

Elle joint quoi à quoi ?
Les photos à son message.

[bleak belfry]

and how is à son message (à +place), so that we can use y

[night surge]

Y replaces « à + group »

[bleak belfry]

so everytime we have à + group, y is used?

[night surge]

The only exception is « à + noun » where the noun is an animate noun (people)

We use lui/leur in that case

[bleak belfry]

and this is still good?

[night surge]

Yup

same rule applies to « de + noun »

[bleak belfry]

Elle joint les photos à son message would translate as She attaches the photos to his... (i don t know how it is translated, letter???)

so /where/ does she attach the photos? to his letter

and it means the place where they are attached

I get it now. Sorry for taking so much time to understand

Thank you very much!

[night surge]

to her message

She attaches the photos to her message

[bleak belfry]

Okayy

[night surge]

Don’t forget to put the preposition ‘to’

Because if you just put ‘where’ then it’s going to be an issue the other way around

[bleak belfry]

So Elle les y joint.

[night surge]

Il vient à Paris = Il y vient
Il vient de Paris = Il en vient

Both describe a ‘where’ but the direction to and from gives you which pronoun to use

[night surge]

yup

[bleak belfry]

Thank you again! Have a nice week.
