Placement of y in a sentence using futur procheI thought there was a rule that "y" should come before the verb (including auxiliary verb). There seems to be an exception when using the futur proche? For example: Je vais y reflechir rather than J'y vais reflechir.

This one was confusing because in the placement quiz they ask you to translate "I am hungry", but then mark it wrong when you select "Je suis...". Then they say the correct translation is "J'ai faim". This is problematic because "J'ai faim" literally means "I have hunger". They need to be accurate with the literal translations in these cases because that's what clues you in to how you should word the phrase.
