Indefinite articles

Question

When the lesson states that en, as a pronoun, can replace a noun + a quantity, is this effectively saying that en can replace any noun introduced by an indefinite article? (and the indefinite article itself too of course!)

Accepted Answer

Bonjour Andy,  Yes, that's exactly what it means.

Answer

For example:

As-tu une caméra ? - Oui j'en ai une.

Answer

Wow, I hadn't thought of it in those terms before.
That really helps.
Thank-you.

Answer

I had the question "I found ten eggs, and you? - Me, I found six." The answer was j'en ai trouvé six, but I wrote j'ai trouvé six because there was no specific reference to 'them'. I think the question should read "Me, I found six of them". This would make things much clearer.

Answer

I had exactly the same problem.  I thought it was a trap where it was not translated as : "I have six of them" just I have six.  The obvious answer was "J'en ai six"  but I thought "...of them" had been deliberately missed to demand a different answer.  Non of the examples in the lesson illustrate this.

Answer

Hi Becky and Ian, 
The accepted answer is -
 J'en ai trouvé six = I have found six ( of them) 
If you said
Moi, j'en ai six 
You would be saying that you have six of them not specifying that you have found them which was being asked.
Hope this helps!
