    Direct and Indirect Object Pronouns in French

    Uploaded by

    dhorovsky
    Direct and indirect object pronouns in French replace nouns and go before verbs, unlike in English where pronouns follow verbs. Direct object pronouns refer to someone or something without an intermediary, while indirect object pronouns indicate something or someone is involved. Examples are provided of pronouns used in the present, past, negative, and with two verbs. Pronouns follow a set order and direct object pronouns require verb agreement in the past tense.

    Direct and Indirect Object

    Pronouns in French
    What are they?
    These are the replacement words we
    use instead of naming things - I see
    Jane becomes I see her, we eat
    cake becomes we eat it
    In English pronouns come after the verb
    - They read the books/ they read them

    In French, pronouns come


    BEFORE the verb
    This includes...
    Present tense
    future tense
    perfect tense
    imperfect tense
    Chart to Show Order of
    Pronouns

    (To) me/ Him/her/ To him/to There/ Some/any/


    you/ us it/them her/to About of it/of
    them them
    me le lui y en
    te la leur
    nous les
    vous l'

    When using more than one


    pronoun in a sentence they will
    ALWAYS go in this order
    Whats the difference?
    Indirect means when there IS someone or
    something in the way, usually indicated by
    the word or sense of TO
    So - he talks to me is il me parle

    Il me parle
    Whats the difference?
    Direct literally Il me voit
    means when theres
    no-one or nothing in
    the way
    So - he sees me is
    il me voit
    You can best tell the
    difference...
    With words for him, her, them
    Je parle mes amis =
    je leur parle
    Je donne le livre Jean=
    je lui donne le livre
    in many other cases, the choice of
    pronoun will look the same
    Des exemples
    le
    Je lis le livre: je..lis
    la
    tu manges la pomme: tu.manges
    il regarde la tl: il.regarde
    la

    nous attendons les vacances:


    nous .attendons
    les
    l
    elles aiment Henri: elles..aiment
    Examples with two pronouns
    in the present tense
    Nous achetons des bonbons au cinma
    Ses amis racontent lhistoire Murielle
    Elle donne le message Franck
    Nous recevons la livraison lentrept
    vous envoyez les produits au client
    tu rserves la chambre lhtel
    Je parle Jean du film
    Examples with two pronouns
    in the present tense
    Nous les y achetons
    Ses amis la lui racontent
    Elle le lui donne
    Nous ly recevons
    vous les lui envoyez
    tu ly rserves
    Je lui en parle
    Examples with the pass
    compos
    il a parl du projet ( moi)
    nous avons considr (sa candidature)
    ils ont renvoy (le colis)
    elles ont achet (les valises)
    tu as reu (son email)?
    Vous avez rpondu Msieur Dumare?
    Jai dit non ( la demande de Julie)
    Examples with the pass
    compos
    il m a parl du projet
    nous l avons considr
    ils l ont renvoy
    elles les ont achet
    tu l as reu
    Vous lui avez rpondu?
    Je lui ai dit non
    Pronouns and negatives
    Direct and indirect object pronouns go
    before the verb when the phrase is
    negative and the nepas or other
    negative term wraps round -
    je ne laime pas
    il ne la voit pas
    nous ne les achetons plus
    ils ne le livrent jamais
    Pronouns with two verbs
    You can see when to use this format in
    the following examples:
    vous voulez le voir?
    Tu dois lui tlphoner
    elle ne peut pas vous parler
    il a voulu me rencontrer
    nous avons dcid dy aller
    So, to recap
    Direct and indirect object pronouns
    replace him/her/it, to him, to them etc
    go BEFORE the verb in most cases
    go IN BETWEEN the verb and infinitive
    when you have two verbs
    go BEFORE the verb or auxiliary
    (avoir/tre in the pass compos)
    P.S A word about agreement...
    With direct object pronouns you
    usually make the end of the verb in the
    past tense agree
    for example
    jai vu les filles
    je les ai vues
    with indirect object pronouns you do
    not need to worry
