Why is the indirect object pronoun required with this expression?The verb aller does not require à so the direct object pronoun seems more correct. Also the direct object pronoun seems even more correct in the negative, when the clothing does not suit someone. Thanks.

Y vs En

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.

What is the difference between the usage of 'avant que' + subjonctif and 'avant de' + indicatif? Are there certain situations where can only use one or the other?

How do we write "she will get it done" or "she will get it signed (by someone)"?Do we necessarily use "futur proche" e.g. elle va le faire ? However "elle va le signer" is not the same meaning. "Elle le fera signer" - would this be correct?
