  1. The use of Direct and Indirect Objects with Other Tenses Specifically the near future, the imperfect, and the passé composé

  2. Near future and the Imperfect • No differences at all from what you have already learned. The near future (the “going to do something” tense) involves the conjugated verb aller plus the infinitive. You have been taught to put the object pronouns BEFORE the infinitive. EXAMPLES: Je vais parler à Paul. Je vais lui parler. Je ne vais pas parler à Paul. Je ne vais pas lui parler. Elle va donner le livre à moi. Elle va me le donner. Elle ne va pas donner le livre à moi. Elle ne va pas me le donner.

  3. Imperfect • The imperfect tense is not a problem. Just put the object pronouns before the conjugated verb like you do in the present tense: Je montrais la voiture à Marie. I was showing the car to Marie. Je la lui montrais. I was showing it to her. Je ne montrais pas la voiture à Marie. Je ne la lui montrais pas.

  4. Passé Composé • The passé composé is where you have to be alert. It causes one teensy-weensy problem and only with direct object pronouns: me, te, le, la, l’, nous, vous, and les. • In the passé composé, first of all the pronouns are placed before the conjugated helping verb. No problem there because it is like we have learned before. Put the object pronoun before the conjugated verb! Tu as lu le nouveau Garfield? Have you read the new Garfield? Tu l’as lu?Have you read it?

  5. Passé Composé continué • The only problem is for you to learn that the past participle will agree with a preceding DIRECT OBJECT pronoun. • What in the world does that mean? Look at the following examples: Il a acheté les bons-bons au chocolat. He bought the chocolate candies. Il les a achetés. He bought them. Because the direct object pronoun is les, the past participle has added an S to indicate the plural.

  6. Nous avons regardé la télévision. We watched the TV. Nous l’avons regardée. We watched it. An “e” is added to the past participle because the direct object pronoun is“la”

  7. Essayons! Il a cherché la BD. Il l’a cherchée. Nous avons vu les chats. Nous les avons vus. Le pompiste a fait le plein. Le pompiste l’a fait.
