‘Y’ and ‘and’ always stand for the person form, also in the pass\u00e9 compos\u00e9 or if the sentence is negative. If the sentence contains a whole verb, then the ‘y’ and ‘en’ precedes the whole verb. If there are multiple personal pronouns in the sentence, then ‘y’ and ‘and’ are followed. If ‘y’ and ‘and’ are both in the sentence, then ‘y’ comes before ‘and’.
