✕Common Mistakes

Missing the direct object pronoun "l'"; the future verb must keep the object it refers to.
Je m'occupe, ils l'auront.
Without "en" the sentence loses the reference to what is being taken care of.

Cultural Tip
French frequently uses "en" to replace "de + noun" and "le/l'" to replace a direct object. Mixing the two in the same sentence (as here) is perfectly natural but can trip learners. The construction is informal; in formal writing you might split the ideas into two sentences.
