Hi,

I was wondering if somebody could explain to me please when one should use 'Y' vs using 'En'.
For example, in trying to say "She thinks of it" - could it not be "elle y pense" or "elle en pense"?
Is it just determined by the context? Ie if the sentence before used De use En or if it used A use Y?

Any help greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Il est sept heures et demie du soir

Bonjour,

Why "Il est sept heures et demie du soir." is right (in the test)?

Like Debra said below: When using the 24-hour clock (13h, 14h, ...), you don't use et quart, et demie, moins le quart.

But it is 7:30 pm... and it uses with et demie... Why?

Merci beaucoup!

"I only have a book" vs "I only have one book"Hi, I'm wondering about the difference between "I only have a book" and "I only have one book", which mean distinct things. It seemed to me that "Je n'ai qu'un livre" would be the former when I encountered it first. Is there anything that would differentiate the two English sentences? (No biggie, just wondering.)
