Y not En
«Nous allons en France tous les ans» . Write "We go there every year": Nous ________ allons tous les ans. The correct answer is "Nous y allons tous les ans." Why does "y" replace "en france" instead of "en."Lesson states: "Y replaces places introduced with prepositions "à, sur, chez, dans."
This question relates to:French lesson "Y = There (French Adverbial Pronouns)"
Asked 5 years ago
Hi Drew,
As stated below and taken from the lesson-
"Notice that to refer to a place previously mentioned in French, you use the pronoun y ('there')."
Hope this helps!
