In French, to avoid repeating a noun that follows a quantity word like 'du', 'de la', or 'des', you can replace it with the pronoun 'en'. It generally means 'of it' or 'of them'. For example, if someone asks 'Tu veux du café ?', instead of repeating 'café', you can simply say 'Oui, j'en veux', which means 'Yes, I want some'.
Quiz#2
Someone asks 'Tu veux du pain ?'. How do you say 'Yes, I want some' using a pronoun?
Oui, j'en veux.
Quiz#3
Someone asks 'Vous achetez des fruits ?'. How do you say 'Yes, we are buying some' using a pronoun?
Oui, nous en achetons.
Lesson#4
The pronoun 'en' is always placed directly before the conjugated verb in the present tense. For instance, 'Je mange des pommes' becomes 'J'en mange', meaning 'I'm eating some'.
