Answer

As examples with “de la” and des are shown, the same is possible with “ du “. The first quiz question I get on the page covers this as well “ Nous achetons du thé ? Tu (...) achètes aussi “.

‘Y’ can replace adverbial phrases of places and things that have preposition ‘à ‘, not de.

Although the answer can be deduced from these, I would agree that an example in the lesson would be good to have.
