I love Marseilles and Paris (but who doesn't?).
heart Je veux
y aller. ;[
Thanks. I never properly learned where to put "y" or "en".
crying I'm still not sure what 'y' even means and I'm doing my 5th year of French...
sweatdrop I only use it in 'Il y a'
Y means "there" - another word you can use is là, but là usually just means "right ther" where as y has a sense of direction to it.
Eg. J'
y suis allée - I went there (from Point A to Point B).
Je suis là - I'm there (and I'm naturally there, I did not move there from somewhere else recently).
@Ashvemn - In the present tense, if there's only one verb, the y goes between the pronoun and the verb.
Eg J'y vais - I'm going there.
If in the present there's two verbs, the y goes after the first verb.
Je veux y aller - I want to go there.
In passé composé, the y goes between the past participle:
J'y suis allé(e) - I went there.
In the imparfait, the y goes after the prounoun:
J'y allais - I was going there
In the future proche, it goes between the two verbs:
Je vais y aller - I'm going to go there
In the conditional present, it goes after the pronoun:
J'y irais si... - I'd go there if...
In the conditional past, it goes after the prounounc as well:
J'y serais allé(e) si... - I'd have gone there if...
Etcetera. Feel free to ask me if you wanna know where it goes for any other tenses
