Point de départ
The pronoun y replaces a previously mentioned phrase
that begins with the prepositions à, chez, dans, en,
or sur. The pronoun en replaces a previously
mentioned phrase that begins with a partitive or
indefinite article, or with the preposition de.

The pronouns y and en precede the conjugated verb.
Never omit y or en even when the English equivalents
can be omitted.

Always use en with a number or expression of quantity
when the noun is omitted.
Use en to replace a prepositional phrase that begins
with de.

Like other pronouns in an infinitive construction, y and en
precede the infinitive.
In the passé composé, the past participle never agrees
with y or en.

In an affirmative tu command, add an -s to any -er
verb followed by y or en. Note that aller also follows
this pattern.
When using two pronouns in the same sentence, y
and en always come in second position.

With imperatives, moi followed by y and en becomes
m’y and m’en. Toi followed by y and en becomes t’y
and t’en.
When used together in the same sentence, y is placed
before en.
