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.

Just ask the question instead of asking for help.

Well its two different assignments and I wanted to see if i could get 1-on-1 or on a call maybe

[mint olive]

What are those assignements about?

[prisma horizon]

y and en

[mint olive]

Y replaces à + noun and en replaces de + noun.

I went toi reddit, people say my answers are right, but I failed them

[mint olive]

Je vais à la plage => j'y vais
Je reviens du supermarché => j'en reviens

So, what's your issue with this assignment?

[prisma horizon]

ok:
Replace with y:

Le ministre répond aux lettres de ses concitoyens.

I put:
Le ministre y répond

[mint olive]

It should be correct.

[prisma horizon]

" Les étudiants ne font pas toujours attention à ce que demandent leurs professeurs."

I put "Les étudiants n'y font pas toujours attention."

[mint olive]

So far so good.

Nous allons chez Vanessa ce soir.

Nous y allons ce soir

because if the last one is wrong, I understand the assignemt, but then why did I fail?

[mint olive]

Nope, doesn't work. We use a tonic pronoun instead here. Because, as I said, y replaces à + noun (as a place complement, not as a COI).

[prisma horizon]

so... uh... what should I have put?

and it said I only got 1/3 right, so one of the other two has to be wrong too

[mint olive]

Just swap the name with the right tonic pronoun.

[prisma horizon]

ok. merci
