Hi, can you explain why "I ate all the cakes" is not a correct translation of
"Elle a mangé tout le gâteau!"MerciHi,
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.
