Quelle est la différence entre « en » et « y », utilisés en tant que pronoms ?
I have a question about the use of 'en' and 'y' together.
Imagine I would like to say:
How it would be using the pronoun in the second phrase?
As a quick rule of thumb, (I mean, for people not having read this question) :
1) y replaces à (to)
2) en replaces de (from)
Je vais à Paris --> J'y vais.
Je viens de Paris --> J'en viens.
So, to answer more directly :
Tu viens d'arriver de Paris?
Non, j'y vais le mois prochain.
