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?
The pronoun en already has the meaning of de built into it! En replaces a phrase starting with de, like de légumes (some vegetables). Since en absorbs the de, you don't write it again after beaucoup.
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?
The word marché is masculine (le marché). In French, whenever the preposition à (at/to) meets the word le (the), they must contract into au. You can never use à le side by side.
