On en était déjà à notre troisième cocktail.

Hi. I am trying to work out why the pronoun "EN" is found in this sentence. Is it there to replace the implied "DE la soirée" as in "On était déjà à notre troisième cocktail de la soirée" ? Or am I way off track ? Thanks for shedding any light here.

(And another thought, could it have equally been "On y était déjà à notre troisième cocktail" with the pronoun "y" used instead of "en" - in this case to replace the implied "dans ce bar" ?)

Three questions from a student

Salut,

thank you in advance to anyone who can help me! I have three questions:

1. Of these three forms which would a French person use the most naturally in speaking and writing?

2. Is it OK to use "duquel" and "de laquelle" when referring to people and not to things?

3. If the verb is one which takes a different preposition (not "de") what should we use instead of "dont"?

Merci beaucoup!

Is the example question here correct?

In example question 1 of this lesson, you say: "Croyez-vous qu’il arrive bientôt ? Oui, ... crois." (Do you believe he'll get there soon? Yes, I believe so.)

Doesn't "Croyez-vous qu’il arrive bientôt?" mean "Do you think it's coming soon?".

Shouldn't it be "Croyez-vous qu'il y arrivera bientôt?"

futur antérieur after quand

I used "une antilope aura chasée par un lion" withe the correct answer being "sera chassée" I thought it was always futur anterior after quand? I can see there are examples in the lesson but I am not clear when each one is used.

La personne dont(?) je pense me rend hereux

Why are only "a qui" and "a laquelle" accepted as answers, while "dont" isn't?
