J'en vaux vraiment la peine !J'en vaux vraiment la peine !I'm really worth it!
Tu vaux la peine.
Why in the second example, the 'en' is not necessary? If i say 'Tu en vaux la peine', would it translate differently to 'Tu vaux la peine'?

Why can "they do not have much to read" not be translated as " ils n'ont pas beaucoup à lire"? Why must it be "grand-chose" instead?

Google Translate allows it.

This page offers it in several examples:: https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english-french/much

It seems they are equally valid alternatives.

How do we know when "de" refers to "from" or partitive article "some"?

For example: "Marie achète du café"

Le café is a location and a drink.

Couldn't this sentence means both "Marie buys a coffee" and "Marie buys from the cafe"?

How do we know when "de" refers to "from" and when it refers to "some"?

Thank you!
