Is this where I post French 2 language questions? I have a test tomorrow and can't figure out these practice questions: Remplace le nom par un pronom: Je n'aime pas manger une salade le soir. Answer: Je n'aime pas la manger le soir. ( ????) Remplace les noms par les pronoms: Ces immigrants viennent de l'Algérie. Answer: I have no idea Remplace par un pronom: Est-ce qu'ils prendront beaucoup de temps? Remplace par un pronom: Il a fallu lire cinq livres pour la classe.
First, is the part that has to be replaced by a pronoun underlined in your original textbook? Second: it seems all these questions are about the use of the personal pronoun "en", that is used to replace an indirect object normally introduced by de/du. Example: Il vient de Paris => Il en vient. Je joue de la guitare => J'en joue. It also works when de/du is the equivalent of "some/any" uncountable. Est-ce que tu as du pain ? => Est-ce que tu en as ? - Oui, j'en ai. And also when it means "some/any" countable, but then you need to add a number in the answer and sometimes in the question. Est-ce que tu as une voiture ? => Est-ce que tu en as (une) ? - Oui, j'en ai une. Est-ce que tu as des frères ? => Est-ce que tu en as ? => Oui, j'en ai deux. Hope this helps you answer your questions.
Post your answers, and I'll help you when you go wrong.
I still don't understand... Also no, it just says "Remplace le nom par un pronom."
Would the first question, "Je n'aime pas manger une salade le soir." be "Je n'en aime pas manger le soir." ??
90% Correct The difficult thing is to insert the "en" in the right place. You would need to write : Je n'aime pas en manger le soir. or even better : Je n'aime pas en manger une le soir.
how do you know all of the questions have to do with "en" and not "le, la les, etc"?
Would the second question's answer be: Ils en viennent. ?
Because when you try to replace the noun by any pronoun in your sentences, only "en" fits in.
