Try this sentence to practice :
J’ai envoyé des fleurs à mes parents
I sent flowers to my parents :
I sent them flowers :
I sent them some :
Je leurs en ai envoyé .... i also am unsure about using leurs/leurs in DOP-IOP context :( do they change pluriality or stay the same ignoring the sujet's number?
I am so sorry I didn't see your reply for some reasons!
So leur before a verb is always singular.
It would take a S in front of a noun so when translated to THEIR
I will make a video about that in the next few months :)
@@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane merci beacoup! Always happy to learn more français
J’ai envoyé des fleurs à mes parents
Je leur ai envoyé des fleurs. ( on doit mettre un s à la fin du mot ‘envoyé’ )?
Je leur en ai envoyé
Je les en ai envoyé.
Madame Dylane,
Do not feel bad regarding your teachings, for they are treasures for us who can not afford a private tutor.
I adore your lessons and I refer to you as my professor to whom I owned all my respects for being so noble as to teach us for no charge of money in a perfect teaching and make us accomplish our dream of learning; speaking for myself the most lovely language in existence the French language.
All my respects and gratitude to you Madame Dylane.
Merci beaucoup Ruth 🥰

Ms. Dylane, it's blessing to watch your videos. Although I don't speak for all, you always turn difficult French into easily learning tips for English spoken people.
Such a nice comment to get, thank you so much ☺️ I hope I can do the same with all the conjugation coming!
You shouldn't feel sorry, but we should because you enormously try to teach us what you have studied so profoundly. You are the best of the best when it comes to teaching languages.

Thank you so much!
Bonjour Dylane et comment allez vous! Merci beaucoup pour votre belle presentation et j’adore beaucoup.
Ça va très bien et toi ?
Thank you madam Dylane . I'm happy for following you
Thank you 🤩
I started to learn French after I bought a ruin in SW France years ago, the position of the y and en has always been problematic. This is the clearest explanation I’ve found .
What an incredible adventure to buy ruin in France. And thank you, I am glad this video was helpful :)
About three-quarters of the way through the video, Dylane explains when to use "la" etc. instead of "en." That part of the video, though short, is very helpful.
Merci Stephanie ☺️
Ur good teacher ever madame
Merci ☺️
Merci beaucoup🙌
De rien :)
Dylane! I am so happy to have discovered your lessons. I am a student at the intermediate level, so here is my question: where do I start with you? Part of me wants to start over, as your explanations are the clearest I have ever encountered. What should I do? Thank you for all you do...what a treasure you give! Thank you!

I really try to make it as easy as possible, but yes 18 minutes was necessary 😅
Merci beaucoup Dylane il y'est trés intrinsèque

@@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane De rien madame😊
Bonjour Dylane. Quand j'étais en train d'apprendre la language quand j'étais plus jeune, souvent j'y faisais des erreurs de ce type et je continue m'en faire aussi mais j'éspère plus peu qu'avant.
Les erreurs, ça fait partir de l'apprentissage d'une langue :)
taking a deep breath and filling up my coffee mug now to watch this . . . in theory not a hard topic and maybe 2/3rds of the time I don't have a problem, but sometimes I see y or en and think "why," as there is no obvious indicator! ok, allons-y. ¡Vamos allá!
I think it's the abstract things with y that were confusing me: je m'y intéresse (à la peinture), because it's not a place, just goes with the à. Je comprends mieux maintenant!
C'est définitivement un sujet lourd à apprendre! Si jamais tu as des questions je suis toujours présente dans les commentaires ou insta 🙂
Thanks mam
You are welcome ☺️
You Awesome teacher
I teach well from you

Hello Dylane. Your lesson on Y and EN is excellent. The URL provided in the comments goes to a page that no longer exists. The message displayed was … “It looks like nothing was found at this location.” How can I get the PDF if it’s still available?
Thank you in advance.
I am going to look into it. You can send me an email and I will try to find it :)
@@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane Thank you for your prompt response. I found the 2023 version of the Y and EN video which updates the 2021 version. In the 2023 video, you provide a form for which your viewers may request the PDF. I have therefore requested and received the PDF. Kind regards.
🎉 mille merci

I have a question actually
Can't v use en in questioning sentence as at 11:00 u hv wrtn the ques - est ce que tu as des œufs ? ... Can we use en in that ques ??
Plz reply
Plz
Plz
Yes you can say : Est-ce que tu en as ?
But only if you are already talking about eggs in the conversation 🙂
Thankyou ! Well explained for a tricky subject and it helped me a lot to understand.
Cependant , j'ai deux questions si vous me le permettez.
il s'en occupe de son frere. His brother is a person and en is used for "him", is this just an exception to the general rule, en cannot be used to replace people ?
Is it OK to use "J'en ai eu assez " if I have eaten sufficient ?? or is it not good French ??
Merci !
For "s'occuper de son frère" we could also say "s'occuper de lui", both works. But since s'occuper de" is followed by DE, we use EN. Always look at the abstract part of the sentence but also at the verb, if followed by de or à or simply nothing,
"J'en ai eu assez" is correct, everybody will understand, but after a meal we would use the verb "manger"
= J'ai mangé assez / J'ai assez mangé / J'en ai assez mangé
J'espère que ça aide 🙂
@@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane Merci beaucoup ! ...mais la langue française ! oola la ! c'est tres difficile ...
Bonjour Dylane !
Thank you for your great explanation of this really tough part of French grammar! You are the best teacher for me.
I have a question. Do we use y and en to replace only things or there are exceptions like in sentence Il s'occupe de son frère - Il s'en occupe.
Merci beaucoup !!!!
Thank you Elena ❤️
You are not the only one confused by "son frère" in the comments 😅
We can also say "s'occuper de lui", both work in this case. Just keep in mind that when the verb is followed by DE, we will use EN, even if it's not abstract. Does it make more sense ?
@@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane merci!!!!
@@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane Dylane, I think that we were a little confused because some french teaching sources say EN and Y should NEVER be used for people. But maybe that is being too formal and this rule is now ignored in general usage ??
It's definitely a case by case area. I shouldn't have include it because I feel it will confuse you. But it all comes down to the verb and verbs followed by "de" aren't always let's say people friendly.
For example Manger de would refer to cannibalism if used with a person, but it works with animals.
Does it make sense ?
@@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane je comprends l'idee, mais ce n'est vraiment que la langue française excentricities , C'est ce qui rend l'apprentissage si trop amusant pour nous!!
you are amazing
no you are 🤩
Please make a video on discour rapporté
That's very specific, not sure if everyone would like that :/
@@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane Elles vont
10:26 "J'ai seulement de l'eau" I believe de usually means of or from and when its placed in front of a noun it means some, so why is de used to say I only have water?
Sometimes translation don't match perfectly 😉 I have never heard "I only have some water" but maybe I am wrong
Je pense que cette leçon sur le pronom y et en est la plus utilisable que j'aie jamais eue.
Merci beaucoup! Meilleur commentaire 🏆
Hi dylane, can u please do some exercises based on y et en...
1.Partie à l'étranger vous ..... Pensez?vous ..... Rêvez , some more examples like this
I will make some next year 😉
@@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane
Thank you
i hope i didn't miss anything in this video but i would like to know one thing. i was watching a movie in french and someone said "qu'est-ce que tu en sais?". what does it mean exactly? and why is it not "qu'est-ce que tu sais?"? can it be translated as "what do you know about this?"?
That's a very good question!
Basically it's between an expression and an unspoken part of the sentence.
En replaces a group of words including the preposition DE. So here it would be "savoir DE quoi on parle". If we replace "de quoi on parle" by a pronoun, we have EN. Does it make sense?
[1]
I didn't realise until I read comment that video is 18+ long but I would say this one is hard lesson, most of the time I am scratching my head 😃
This is one of the hardest subject, just try to understand it when you see it and it will come 🙂
Pls dont feel sorry u make it very easy to understand the grammar.
Merci 😊
Tout est facile 🌹
