✕Common Mistakes
Je suis y accro.
The pronoun "y" must precede the verb, not follow the subject.
J'y suis à accro.
Do not add the preposition "à" after "y"; "y" already replaces the "à" complement.
J'y suis accroe.
The adjective "accro" does not change in the masculine singular; only add an "e" for feminine subjects.

Cultural Tip
The word "accro" is colloquial and best reserved for informal settings among friends or peers. In formal writing or professional contexts, opt for "dépendant(e) de" or "attaché(e) à". Also, remember that "y" replaces a complement introduced by "à", not "de".
