(there may also be other words like EN - En Italie that can be replaced with Y)


Click here for more practice on Y - more challenging

(now replace Y with any preposition in, on, under, infront of, behind sur, sous, dans devant, dérrière + noun)



Here are some helpful links to practice Y. Don't forget to check out the helpful links from yesterday!
