Qu’en est-il de Julien et Sophie?
I don’t understand the structure of this question. I imagine there is an idiom I haven’t seen before. What is en replacing? What is il referring to?
Thanks.

Hi Heather,
Well spotted as it is an idiomatic expression 'en être de' which means -
where are we at / what about
which is very used in French.
You could also say -
Qu'est-ce qu'il en est de Julien et Sophie?
Or
Qu'est-ce qu'il en est de votre vente ?
But well spotted!
