I was wondering how to translate from English to French...
You can look at some of them in there.
Tu peux y en regarder. ??
I'm wondering if it's possible to have 'y' and 'en' in the same sentence. I know I've read... "Il y en a... "
Do you have any helpful examples?
Thanks!!

In French that would be "Tu peux en voir là-dedans" or more familiar "T'y peux en voir". But in formal French you can't really say "Tu peux en y voir", this sounds awkward. I could not tell you the rule if there is any - sorry.

I would translate that as "You can look at some there." The "en" (some) should be easy to figure out if you know the context. I'm pretty sure you can put "y" and "en" in the same sentence. As François pointed out, the sentence is a little odd. Here's an explanation on both of those pronouns.
