spoken liaison between tu and en.

spoken liaison between tu and en.

Should there be a definite article to separate ‘Tu' and ‘en' so it might become 'Tu l’en achete?" Otherwise it feels awkward making the liason between Tu and en, because ‘tu' ends in a vowel just as ‘en' starts with one.

Bonjour Nick,

No, not in this case, there's no need as Tu and en are quite separate and the only liaison will be between the -n and the -a of achètes.

Bonne Continuation !
