le pronom Y​

​Y replaces prepositions of location [chez (at) en (to) dans (to) à(to)]

Ex: nous allons chez le medecin (prepositional phrase)

When we previously mention a location, we can often translate “there” instead (both in eng and fr)

Instead, nous Y allons  

Ex: es-tu allée à la plage? (or any location), oui j’y suis allée, j’y ai visité

Ex; tu vas à la piscine ? Oui j’y vais !

​And the meaning of “y” can change depending on what preposition you’re replacing. You can also replace the preposition à + something such as À penser (to think about), s’interésser à (to be interested in) to change the meaning to “about it” you’d say : 

Ex: tu penses à ton avenir ? oui j’y pense (thinking about it), il s’y intéresse

Ex: à l’examen? J’y pense toujours
