I saw this sentence online «Mon père est médecin et je vais en être un aussi.»
I'm confused because there is no «de» to replace?

Hi Rike,
The Kwiziq lesson you are looking for is the following one -
En with quantities = Of them (adverbial pronoun)
Hope this helps!
Hi Rike,
I'm thinking "je vais en être un aussi" --> I'm going to be one (en) OF THEM also.
Hope this helps?
Jim
Jim is correct: sometimes the "de" which is replaced by "en" isn't literally in the sentence but implied.
