I particularly like that you made conjugation a separate course, it tends to take up all the attention from the other grammar points usually. ❤️

Bonjour, Dylane. May I ask why is “y” in the sentence > is put between vais and réchléchir instead of j’y? Is it because the main verb is réchléchir? Merci.
Thank you for another great lesson! I have a question about exercise 4.11 point 6 in the book: “Tu as pensé à ta pauvre sœur?” I thought the pronoun Y could only replace a thing/place, not a person, so I’m wondering if the sentence “Tu y as pensé?” is correct or if the emphatic pronoun should be used instead: “Tu as pensé à elle?”
Salut Dylane! J'ai une question avec Y, quand nous utilisons Y pour remplacer des lieux. Est-ce que vous pouvez m'aider avec cet exemple? Es-tu dans la cuisine? où pouvons nous mettre le Y ici?
At last I now fully realise the importance of the lists of verbs taking à or de. Great explanation for Y and EN, I could never really understand which one to use before now. One question though, the verbs manger, sortir and donner are not on the list for needing de, is the "manger de" and "sortir de" more of an expression or special case ?
Correct, they are not because they are not always followed by de, more often by a partitive article :) Besides Sortir, which I thought was, I will add it :)
Bonjour. Does this make any sense to you? "C’est un gâteau brioché. Et quand il est cuit, on y ajoute du sirop de sucre à l’alcool." 1. I do not understand the y, is it replacing gâteau even though there is no preposition à introducing it? 2. "Et quand il est cuit" - is that passive voice using être and the past participle of cuire? Merci
Maybe I figured out question 2 - I just learned that the past participle can be used as an adjective, so "il est cuit" - cuit is the p.p. and is being used as an adjective, no passive voice, C'est ca? I still do not understand the y though.
You got the second one :) As of the first one, Y is used to replace a place, even if it's the top of a cake, with the préposition à. Ajouter au gâteau = y ajouter :)
@@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane Ok, I think I understand - so even though she did not use the preposition à in the previous sentence we can still use y because it fits with the verb being used. Merci beaucoup.
Wow Wow Wow, merci beaucoup Dylane! Comme un flamand qui (veut) parle(r) régulièrement français j'ai eu beaucoup des difficultés avec Y et EN. Vous m'avez bien aidé!
Quick question: En is all about the preposition de, but I'm listening to some french disney songs right now, where they are singing; Je saurai t’aimer J’en ai rêvé Why are they using 'en' when there is no de? And why are they not using le? Later the guy sings: Je saurai t’aimer Tu l’as rêvé Here he uses le instead of en 🤔
It's all about the verb Rêver and what follows it. Rêver de (faire) quelque chose - To dream to do something = en Rêver quelque chose (less commun) = Le I hope it helps :)
@@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane But there is another one that I dont understand; Prince Ali, plus fort que lui Je n’en connais pas Is en referring to a person here?
Hello, thanks for you video, for using COD, y and en, I had some situation, instead of describing it I want to give some examples and you tell me if I am correct or not. First-let’s say mam and her son Andrew: Mam : est-ce qu’il y a des pommes ? Andrew : Non Mama. Mam : Peux-tu en acheter ? Then Andrew bought some apples, and came back Andrew : Mam, j’ai acheté des pommes. Mam : peux-tu les obtenir ? The moment he bought the apples it became definite, so the COD can be replaced some times by COP or en, depends of the sequence of talk. Another example for this situations, let’s say two friends are talking about the apples that they saw day before in the shop, and if one of them said “je les ai acheté”, it means he bought all the apples in this shop, while if he said “j’en ai acheté” this means he bought some of it. Am I correct? I will wait for your answer, so I can continue with next examples.
Lucy it should be à elle, definitely. I have changed it since. It's a mistake that native French do a lot, so it went through the cracks with me and the proofreader 😅
What's the difference between vouloir and avoir envie de? Is it like vouloir is more demanding and envie is desirable? Maybe I'm just getting mixed up between the two
Madre Mia, Frances es muy dificil. Estoy intentando aprenderlo pero creo que necesito 10 anos para tener exito. Para que lo sepas, la pronunciacion es lo mas dificil. Que pesadilla!!
@@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane i can spell y and en but what about the rest you know almost nothing is spelled as readed and those silent letters make it impossible for me… well yes i know that english is not so different at this point but it is way more simpler that most time i can guess how to write the word correctly at least those silent letter almost doesn't exist in english unlike the french when half of the letters in the word gets writed but not readed…

Hi, Dylane. I have a question for you. Are 'avoir envie' and 'vouloir' synonyms? Interchangeable? Thx!
Clear and concise explanation and some really useful examples for me to practice, thanks very much👍👍
You're very welcome Steve 🙂
Thank you! So helpful and clearly delivered x
You are welcome :)
Bonjour, Dylane. May I ask why is “y” in the sentence > is put between vais and réchléchir instead of j’y? Is it because the main verb is réchléchir? Merci.
You are right Joshua, réfléchir is the main verb, and the one with the preposition = réfléchir à - therefore y is before it :)
Love it. Thanks. Now, in what of your many lessons do you cover the numbers?
Lesson number 11 in the same playlist Frank :D

Hi Dylane,
Thanks for the lesseon. It's very helpful.
I have a question about Ex 4.11 No. 6, can i use lui instead of y, therefore "Tu lui as pensé."?
No because penser can not be used with an indirect object pronoun ;)

Quick question: En is all about the preposition de, but I'm listening to some french disney songs right now, where they are singing;
Je saurai t’aimer
J’en ai rêvé
Why are they using 'en' when there is no de? And why are they not using le?

It's all about the verb Rêver and what follows it.

I hope it helps :)
@@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane Ah that makes sense, thx!
@@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane But there is another one that I dont understand;
Prince Ali, plus fort que lui
Je n’en connais pas
Is en referring to a person here?
Bonjour. May I ask why not "J'ai besoin du temps" as le temps is masculin?🤔
Avoir besoin de temps, Avoir besoin de toi, Avoir besoin de dormir, etc. Always de in this case :)
excellent explantions
Thank you :)
Hello, thanks for you video, for using COD, y and en, I had some situation, instead of describing it I want to give some examples and you tell me if I am correct or not.
First-let’s say mam and her son Andrew:
Mam : est-ce qu’il y a des pommes ?
Andrew : Non Mama.
Mam : Peux-tu en acheter ?
Then Andrew bought some apples, and came back
Andrew : Mam, j’ai acheté des pommes.
Mam : peux-tu les obtenir ?
The moment he bought the apples it became definite, so the COD can be replaced some times by COP or en, depends of the sequence of talk.
Another example for this situations, let’s say two friends are talking about the apples that they saw day before in the shop, and if one of them said “je les ai acheté”, it means he bought all the apples in this shop, while if he said “j’en ai acheté” this means he bought some of it.
Am I correct? I will wait for your answer, so I can continue with next examples.
Here in 6:56 , I thought it would be ,
" Il en s'occupe" is it wrong? I can't understand it very well
The pronoun is placed between the reflexive pronoun and the verb. Il s'en occupe is correct.
@@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane ohh ok thankyou ♥️
Hi, I thought it is 'J'y vais réfléchir' At 3:20. Is it a wrong structure?
J'y vais = I am going there
Je vais y réfléchir - I am going to think about it.
The verb taking Y is "réfléchir à", not aller ;)
@@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane Merci beaucoup pour votre réponse.
A lot of thanks !!!
Thanks to you :D
I like it thanks
You are welcome :)
Ihave the same question as Solveig. Exercise 4.11, number 6. Can it be : tu as pensé à elle
Lucy it should be à elle, definitely. I have changed it since. It's a mistake that native French do a lot, so it went through the cracks with me and the proofreader 😅
@@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane merci beaucoup!
I have a doubt. Why is it "Je vais y réfléchir" but not "J'y vais réfléchir"? l'explication, s'il vous plait?
It's always before the verb it refers to. Réfléchir à = y réfléchir :)
Merci🙂@@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane
remerciements!
Merci à toi ;)

They are similar, you can use one or the other ;)

Bonjour Shila :)
But if you are speaking about a specific object such as un style you would say donne-le á Jean?
Yes but that's not the subject of this video ;)

Hi miss Dylane ❤❤❤❤🤩😍😍🤩
Hi Jasmin :)
👍👍👍🙂
Merci Anu :)
ooof this is very difficult i hope it doesnt get more difficult than this
With practice you will be ok :)
For “Je suis en train de.. “ and “ Je suis en route “. I thought “en” here is a preposition and it’s not an example of “en” the pronoun.
I like to add examples and expressions in the lesson about the word but this is true I should have added a not about it ;)
cant they just do a reform for this dumb spelling system😤…
You can't spell Y and EN?
