pour y aller
hello,
why is the y in the middle
This question relates to:French lesson "Pour + [infinitive] = In order to + [do] in French"
Asked 6 years ago
Bonjour Nim !
In French, you cannot use the verb aller (to go) without mentioning "where" you're going.
The pronoun y here means "there" and is simply used to recall the necessary destination :)
Have a look at our lesson on y :
Y = There (French Adverbial Pronouns)">Y = There (French Adverbial Pronouns)">Y = There (French Adverbial Pronouns)">Y = There (French Adverbial Pronouns)
I hope that's helpful!
À bientôt !

«y» is the pronoun for a place or location. Another example: J'y vais --> I am going there. Here is the lessons that relates to this question: https://french.kwiziq.com/my-languages/french/view/711
