Y and en + place

does Y replace en + place too?

for example,

1) Il habite en France. -> Il y habite.

2) Elle vit en Espagne. -> Elle y vit.

Bonjour Abidali,

Bravo 👏!

That's right: you've understood this correctly! You can replace "en + [country]" with the pronoun "y".

J'habite en Russie. -> J'y habite.

Je suis en Australie. -> J'y suis.

I hope this is helpful!

Bonne journée !
