When to use 'en' or direct personal pronoun le, la, l' I am reading Charlie and the Chocolate factory and every now an then I come across the use of the word 'en' For example: Nous allons partager. Je veux que tout le monde en mange. I'm struggling to understand why the sentence can't read 'je veux que tout le monde *le* mange' My suspicions are that, at least in this instance, 'en' is used to suggest every has some of the chocolate. If 'le' were used it might imply the entire chocolate must be eaten by them, which would not leave any for Charlie. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
