When to use en?

Question

In the one question they use 'en': "Il s'en souvient. = He remembers it." I don't see anything in this lesson explaining when we would use en with this verb?

Hi M, 
The 'en' replaces the prepositon  'de' in the verb 'se souvenir de quelque chose'.
Take a look at the following lesson if you need a reminder -

Bonjour M,"Il s'en souvient"     The verb form is se souvenir de (qch/qqn) in the sense of recall or recollection of something or someone previously mentioned  (the adverbial pronoun en). You haven't provided a link to the actual question, which is the source of your query; so it isn't easy to be specific in this case  --  if you were to include the original text, I could help further.Bonne continuation.Jim
