#"y" and "a" in sentences
1 messages · Page 1 of 1 (latest)
'y' is a pronoun for 'la'. 'il y a' means "there is"
The adverbial pronoun y is used to replace the grammatical structure à/en + place.
J'ai vu la nouvelle statue au musée Grévin => j'y ai vu la nouvelle statue
A (without the accent) is the conjugated form of the verb avoir (to have) in the third person singular (il/elle/on) of the indicative present tense.
Il a un ballon (he has the ball)
There is the expression il y a (it can be conjugated in every tense) which means there is/are.
isn't there more of meanings for "a" because i remember seeing an example sentence with a but not the verb avoir
could it mean also "à" ?
