BEGINNER2. LESSON #7. DANS LE MÉTRO

Dans le métro :
- Comme nous avons laissé les voitures à Boulogne, prenons le métro.
- Mais j’ai oublié de prendre des tickets.
- Aucune importance. J'en ai. Je t’en donne un.
- La ligne 10 arrive. Tu crois qu’il y a beaucoup de monde.
- Il y en a toujours beaucoup le samedi.
- Alors, restons debout, l’un contre l’autre. Combien de stations ?
- J’ai compté, il y a onze stations jusqu’à Boulogne.

Here we meet for the first time pronoun en.

In the first sentence, it replaces the indefinite article and the noun. We could translate it with some.
J’en ai (= des tickets de métro).


In the second sentence, it could be translated by one of them.
Je t’en donne un (= un des tickets de métro)


In the third sentence, it replaces the partitive article and the noun. We could translate it by some.
