The pronoun y has two distinct uses: It is the indirect-object pronoun used with things introduced by the preposition à. For more on this use, see above. It is used to replace a spatial prepositional phrase. In this sense, it might be translated as there. For example: « Je vais à Paris. » → « Jy vais. » ("I am going to Paris." → "I am going there.") « Est-ce que tu travailles dans ce bureau ? — Non, je ny travaille plus. » ("Do you work in that office? — No, I do not work there anymore.") It is used idiomatically with certain verbs, without replacing anything: « Il doit y avoir une erreur. » ("There must be a mistake.") « Je commence à y voir un peu plus clair. » ("I am starting to see things more clearly.") The pronoun en The pronoun en has the following uses: It is the indirect-object pronoun used with things (including infinitives) introduced by the preposition de. It is also sometimes used in the same way with people (however, it is more common to use disjunctive pronouns rather than using en in the case of people).: « Je parle du problème. » → « Jen parle. » ("I am talking about the problem." → "I am talking about it.") « Je parle de Jean. » → « Jen parle. » or « Je parle de lui. » ("I am talking about Jean." → "I am talking about him.") It is used to replace a spatial prepositional phrase introduced by de ("from"). In this sense, it might be translated as from there: « Je viens de France. » → « Jen viens. » ("I come from France." → "I come from there.")

("I did not see any cows." → "I did not see any.") introduced by a numeral (including the singular indefinite article) or a plural expression (d'autres, certains, quelques) « J'ai mangé une pomme. » → « Jen ai mangé
