"You can look for that on the Internet."

Translation: Tu peux chercher ça sur Internet.

[BrendanMajkel]

Pourqui pas "sur l'Internet"?

[Sitesurf]

In French, the noun "Internet" is used as a registered trade mark or proper name, unless it is used as an invariable adjective (no feminine, no plural forms), in which case it is not capitalized: "une connexion internet".

[Sky_Larme]

why ""that"" in this case can't be ""le"" or ""y"" or ""en""?

[Sitesurf]

It could be "le/la", but the English sentence has "that", which is best translated to "cela/ça".

"y" cannot be used, because you would need it to mean "there" or "à + object" with a verb constructed with "à".

"en" cannot be used either, because you would need a construction with "du/de la" or "des":

• (speaking of the Internet) Tu peux y trouver des informations = you can find information there.
• (speaking of the information) Tu peux en trouver sur Internet = you can find some on the Internet.

[Sky_Larme]

That is a good explanation! Hope I can work with it. Many thanks to you Sitesurf!

[Qiset1]

I put "vous pouvez cherchez" and it gave the corrected form as "vous pouvez chercher". Isn't "vous" the subject? If so, why doesn't it match? Maybe "vous pouvez" becomes the subject?

[Sitesurf]

"Vous" already has its conjugated verb "pouvez". The second verb can only be added in its infinitive form.

[Qiset1]

Merci.

[DangerRick]

Why not: Tu peux ça chercher..?

[Sitesurf]

Only personal pronouns are placed before the verb they are objects of.

[SueSalling]

my answer is exactly what you have written. I can't change it to be
any better. what else can I type, what else can I do to produce a
better answer?

[Sitesurf]

Did you report this during the exercise?

Why is "l'internet" wrong in this sentence?
