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.

the verbal expression is « entendre parler de (quelque chose) », and the adverbial pronoun « en » replaces words that are introduced by the preposition « de »

for example...

• Tu as entendu parler de l'accident ?
  -# ** ** ("Have you heard about the accident?")
• Tu en as entendu parler ?
  -# ** ** ("Have you ever heard about it?")

ahhhh i see, so it's the placeholder when there's no specific noun?

[gray nymph]

i guess yeah

usually, the noun would be mentioned before

[half prairie]

i know its not exactly that but that's the way of looking at it that makes sense to me

yes exactly

[gray nymph]

yeah

[half prairie]

but not in that specific sentence

ok that makes sense thank you!!!
