OBJECT
PRONOUNS
French III
Les pronoms objets
roulent!!!
Complment d'objet direct (COD)
Direct objects are the people or things in a sentence which receive the action of the verb.
To find the direct object in a sentence, ask the question
Who? or What?
Je vois Pierre.Who do I see? - Pierre.
Je mange le pain.What am I eating? - Bread.
SubjectS do the action, objectS receive the action
WHAT ARE PRONOUNS?
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
WHAT do they look like?
Me Nous
Te Vous
Le Les
La
L
WHY should I use them?
To avoid repetition (think of it as a shortcut)
Ex: My mom is great. I love my mom. I took my mom out to dinner for her birthday.
My mom is great. I love her. I took her out to dinner for her birthday.
WHEN may I use them?
Cest lenface de lart! (its a piece of cake)
You can usually identify the direct object as
the noun that follows the verb in the
sentence.
I love you
HOW do I know which one to choose?
Me..me
You.te
Him.le/l
Her..la/l
It (masc.)le/l
It (fem.)..la/l
We.nous
You guys (all yall)..vous
Themles
WHERE should I put them?
1. First look for an infinitive. If there is an
infinitive, put the pronoun before the
infinitive.
2. If there is no infinitive, look for the
conjugated verb. Put the pronoun
before the conjugated verb.
3. Dont forget to get rid of the noun that you replaced with the pronoun!

2. Elle _____l_________ a eu.

people.

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
YWHY should I use it ?
To avoid repetition (short-cut)
Ex. I love the grocery store. I go to the grocery
store every Friday.
I love the grocery store. I go there every Friday.
When may I use it?
Use Y when you have the preposition ( la, au, aux) followed by a noun (not a person).
You also use Y when you have any preposition that refers to a location ( droite de, sur,
dans, etc) and a place
Tu vas la banque aujourd'hui? Non, j'y vais
demain.
Nous allons au magasin. Tu veux y aller ?
Il tait chez Jean. Il y tait.
Attention!
Y can also replace + a noun that is not a person,* such as with verbs that need .
Note that in French, you must include
either + something or its replacement
y, even though the equivalent may be
optional in English.
Je rponds une lettre. J'y rponds.
WHERE should I put it?
1. First look for an infinitive. If there is an
infinitive, put the pronoun before the
infinitive.
2. If there is not an infinitive, look for the
conjugated verb. Put the pronoun
before the conjugated verb.
3. Dont forget to get rid of the noun and the preposition (, la, au, aux) that
you replaced with the pronoun!
EN
WHY should I use it?
To avoid repetition (short cut)
Ex. My car is fast. I talk about my car often.
My car is fast. I talk about it often.
WHEN may I use it?
Use EN to replace the preposition de (du,des) followed by a noun (not a person)
As-tu du pain ? Oui, j'en ai.
Il a envie d'une pomme. Il en a envie.
Je n'ai pas besoin d'un aide. Je n'en ai pas
besoin.
Attention!
In a sentence with a modifier, such as an adverb of quantity or a number, plus noun, en replaces the noun
and the modifier or number is placed at the end of the
sentence. Note that "of it" and "of them" are usually
optional in English, but en is required in French.
Il y a beaucoup de chambres. Il y en a beaucoup.
Je n'ai pas assez d'argent. Je n'en ai pas assez.
Je voudrais deux livres. J'en voudrais deux.
Nous avons achet 10 cahiers. Nous en avons achet 10.
Attention!
En also replaces de + noun with verbs and expressions that need de. Again, in
French, you must include either de +
something or its replacement en, even
though "about/of it" is usually optional in
English.
Que penses-tu de mon ide ?
-- Qu'en penses-tu ?
WHERE should I put it?
1. First look for an infinitive. If there is an
infinitive, put the pronoun before the
infinitive.
2. If there is not an infinitive, look for the
conjugated verb. Put the pronoun
before the conjugated verb.
3. Dont forget to get rid of the noun and the preposition (de, du, des) that you
replaced with the pronoun!

en):

in this order
- If the commands are negative, the reflexive
pronouns come before the conjugated verb
and do not change
Imperative order of pronouns
