Thanks Cécile. It was a general question prompted by the comment that ‘en’ cannot be used to replace a plural noun referring to people or other animate objects. I can see that if you are trying to say ‘Speak to me about them’, you would say ‘Parle-moi d’elles (or d’eux)’ but couldn’t work out how you would say ‘some’ referring to animate objects with the imperative. Perhaps ‘Show me some (dogs)’ would be a better example?
