    Try this sentence to practice :
    J’ai envoyé des fleurs à mes parents
    I sent flowers to my parents :
    I sent them flowers :

      Je leurs en ai envoyé .... i also am unsure about using leurs/leurs in DOP-IOP context :( do they change pluriality or stay the same ignoring the sujet's number?

    • @TheperfectfrenchwithDylane
      @TheperfectfrenchwithDylane  4 года назад

      I am so sorry I didn't see your reply for some reasons!
      So leur before a verb is always singular.
      It would take a S in front of a noun so when translated to THEIR
      I will make a video about that in the next few months :)

    Madame Dylane,
    Do not feel bad regarding your teachings, for they are treasures for us who can not afford a private tutor.
    I adore your lessons and I refer to you as my professor to whom I owned all my respects for being so noble as to teach us for no charge of money in a perfect teaching and make us accomplish our dream of learning; speaking for myself the most lovely language in existence the French language.
    All my respects and gratitude to you Madame Dylane.

      Answering in case someone else has the same question :)
      Y always goes before the auxiliary and the verb. In case of two verbs following each other (but not a compound tense), y will be placed before the second verb :)

    Thank you for your great explanation of this really tough part of French grammar! You are the best teacher for me.

      We can also say "s'occuper de lui", both work in this case. Just keep in mind that when the verb is followed by DE, we will use EN, even if it's not abstract. Does it make more sense ?

    • @TheperfectfrenchwithDylane
      @TheperfectfrenchwithDylane  4 года назад

      It's definitely a case by case area. I shouldn't have include it because I feel it will confuse you. But it all comes down to the verb and verbs followed by "de" aren't always let's say people friendly.
      For example Manger de would refer to cannibalism if used with a person, but it works with animals.

      Don't worry it is for everybody. Just know the rule and how to use it and it will come naturally with practice 🙂

    Additionally, in English, you can use as many replacement pronouns as you wish, but conversely, in French, you are limited to two replacement pronouns in one sentence. For instance, in English, "I gave these clocks to Isabel at the library" can be shortened to "I gave them to her there", but in French, it CANNOT be done like this.
    The original sentence translates as "J'ai donné ces horloges à Isabel à la bibliothèque", but the sentence using only replacement pronouns CANNOT be "Je les lui y ai données." So instead, there would be three possible choices to reword the original sentence using the two replacement pronoun limit:
    A. Je les lui ai données à la bibliothèque.
    B. Je les y ai données à Isabel.
    C. Je lui y ai donné ces horloges.

      But it can be "là-bas" as a replacement for there 😉 At the end of the sentence in this case tho.

    I was confused by the s’occuper example for “en” because it is specific

    Thankyou ! Well explained for a tricky subject and it helped me a lot to understand.
    Cependant , j'ai deux questions si vous me le permettez.
    il s'en occupe de son frere. His brother is a person and en is used for "him", is this just an exception to the general rule, en cannot be used to replace people ?
    Is it OK to use "J'en ai eu assez " if I have eaten sufficient ?? or is it not good French ??
    Merci !

      For "s'occuper de son frère" we could also say "s'occuper de lui", both works. But since s'occuper de" is followed by DE, we use EN. Always look at the abstract part of the sentence but also at the verb, if followed by de or à or simply nothing,
      "J'en ai eu assez" is correct, everybody will understand, but after a meal we would use the verb "manger"
      = J'ai mangé assez / J'ai assez mangé / J'en ai assez mangé
      J'espère que ça aide 🙂
