  1. Amuse-toi avec les pronoms directs et indirects!

  2. What is a pronoun? • Pronouns replace nouns. We use them to avoid repeating words over and over. • Marie is a nice girl. Marie has been in my class since first grade. I see Marie every day in class. Marie and I go to class together. Marie and I sit in class, and I talk to Marie and ask Marie questions because Marie is very smart. After class, Marie and I talk about class and what Marie and I have to do for homework.

  3. What are the pronouns? • It depends on how they are used in the sentence. If they are used as subjects of the verb, they are • I, you, he, she, it, we, you, they • What are they in French? • je, tu, il, elle, on, nous, vous, ils, elles

  4. If they are used alone or after a preposition, they are • Moi, toi, lui, elle, nous, vous, eux, elles Qui est là? C’est moi! Je vais chez lui. Je vais chez eux.

  5. What if they are objects of the verb? • Then you have to determine whether they are direct or indirect objects. If you have a “to” or “for” in front, it is an indirect object. • I wrote a letterto Marie. • I bought a giftfor Marie.

  6. What are the direct object pronouns? • me (me) • te (you) • nous (us – it looks just like the subject pronoun, we) • vous (you – it looks just like the subject pronoun, you) • le (him/it – it looks just like the definite article, the) • la (her/it – it looks just like the definite article, the) • les (them – it looks just like the definite article, the)

  7. What are the indirect object pronouns? • me (to me – it looks just like the direct object pronoun, me) • te (to you – it looks just like the direct object pronoun, you) • nous (to us – it looks just like the direct object pronoun, us) • vous (to you – it looks just like the direct object pronoun, you) • lui (to him/to her – it looks just like the stress pronoun, he) • leur (to them – it looks just like the possessive adjective, their)

  8. Any more? • Two more: • y – it replaces any preposition of place and is translated “there” -- it can also replace à + thing, and has several translations. I think about it. I believe in it. • en – it replaces anything preceded by “de” and has many translations. I have six of them. I talk about it. I came back from there.

  9. A quick review: • me • te le • nous la lui • vous les leur y en • If you have more than one object pronoun in the sentence, respect this order. I send it to him there = Je le lui y ai envoyé.
