Please explain why y is not used as a pronoun when the verb is penser (à)?Question: Le DJ est insupportable. Tout le monde ________ pense

Réponse: le

Please can you explain why the answer is not "y" because the normal expression is "penser à qqch" and therefore it would seem that the answer should effectively be "tout le monde pense à le" or, using s preposition, "tout le monde y pense"?

On vs Nous

In the third sentence, we are given the hint to use "on", but then marked wrong when we used it instead of "nous."

Hi all,

just wondering if the liaison in the following sentence between "sortis" and "ensemble" is required, forbidden, or optional?

Il ne croit pas en grand-choseIl ne croit pas en grand-chose

This is a test question. Could someone help to explain how to understand this "en" used here? I'll imagine "Il n'en croit pas grand-chose" would be correct.

Very Confused

Lesson: Nous trouvons que vous ....... trop de bruit. We think you make too much noise. I used the subjonctif of fassiez and you say it’s faites which doesn’t seem to be subjonctif. This notebook lesson doesn’t help with my issue. What do I have wrong? Thanks for your help.

Le primeur a des melons magnifiques.

From google translate 'Le primeur a des melons magnifiques.' is 'The scoop has magnificent melons'

I have no idea what it is suppose to mean. Translation please.
