Questions & Answers about Il en produit beaucoup pour vendre au marché.
Why is en placed before the verb instead of next to beaucoup like in English?
In French, object pronouns like en (meaning "of it" or "some") must go immediately before the conjugated verb. Even though English says "produces a lot of it," French structures it as Il en produit beaucoup (literally: "He of it produces a lot").
We usually learn the phrase beaucoup de (a lot of). Why is there no de in this sentence?
Why is the verb vendre (to sell) left in its infinitive form here?
When you want to say "in order to do something" in French, you use the preposition pour followed by an unconjugated verb (an infinitive). So, pour vendre translates to "in order to sell" or just "to sell".
Why does the sentence end with au marché instead of à le marché?
