Drill · B1 · pron.y
The pronoun y
Tu vas chez le médecin ? — Oui, j'y vais.
Grammar note
Y replaces à + a place (or à + a thing). It sits before the verb: j'y vais, on y va, nous y allons. Never use it for people; that is lui / leur.
From Laboratoire 1, Le départ. 10 variations, about 2 minutes.
Modèle 3 :
Vous allez à la gare ?
Répondez oui :Oui, j'y vais.
Listen to the model, then answer each variation out loud during the pause.

How to do it
Out loud, or it does not count.
- Read the model on the sheet once. It is the only text you get.
- Press start. The voice says the model, then the first cue.
- Answer during the pause, at full voice or under your breath, but with your mouth.
- Hear the answer. If yours differed, say the correct one in the repeat pause, matching the voice.
- Do it again tomorrow. The structure comes back in later labs at one, three, seven and twenty-one days.
