Questions & Answers about Vous devez résoudre cette énigme, alors pensez-y !
Why do we use y here, and what exactly does it replace?
Why is y attached to the end of pensez instead of going before it?
Could I say pensez de ça to mean 'think about it'?
Why isn't the verb résoudre conjugated?
It directly follows the conjugated verb devez (from devoir, meaning must). In French, when an action verb directly follows another conjugated verb like this, the second verb stays in its infinitive (dictionary) form.
