This was accepted as copied & pasted. You might have a different error, but you didn't copy it so who knows?

It is correct.

Could someone please explain the use of y (aller).

After pouvoir you use an infinitive (aller), the y is (to) 'it' (or 'there'). y aller -> to go to it or to go there. J'y vais -> I'm going there.

Thank you Donald. I thought that was the case. Nice to have it confirmed though. :)
