How to use the pronoun "en"?

We use en to replace: partitive article ( de/ des/ du/ de la/) + NOUN. It is used to represent: 'some of it/them', 'any of it'. EXAMPLE: Avez-vous du pain? Oui, j'en ai acheté. In this example EN replaces: du pain EXAMPLE: Voulez-vous de la bière? Oui, s'il y en a. In this example EN replaces: de la bière
