te, t’
le, l’
la, l’
nous
vous
les
Yourself / me
You (informal)
Him, it (masculine / singular)
Her, it (feminine / singular)
Us
You (formal / plural)
Them (plural)
-
Direct object pronouns replace direct object nouns (le replaces a noun
that is masculine/singular, la replaces a noun that is feminine/singular,
and les replaces a plural noun).
Examples: Je regarde le film.  Je le regarde.
Il cherche Anne.  Il la cherche.
-
Direct object pronouns are placed before the verb.
Examples: Paul me voit.
Paul t’aime.
Paul le (la) voit.
-
Direct object pronouns MUST AGREE in gender and in number with the
noun that it replaces.
You may say that the direct object “receives” the action of the verb
-
If you drop the noun direct object, what remains is the definite article.
Example: Marc veux regarder le film.  Marc veux le regarder.
6
-
In negative sentences, direct object pronouns are placed after ne and
before the verb.
Examples: Je ne le regarde pas.
Il ne la cherche pas.
Direct Object pronouns in commands:
-
Direct object pronouns are placed before the verb except in affirmative
(positive) commands.
Remember that me changes to moi and te
changes to toi in the imperative (command) form.
Examples: Vous me regardez.  Regardez-moi!
Vous le prenez.  Prenez-le!
-
In negative commands, the direct object pronoun is placed after the ne
and before the verb.
Examples: Ne me regardez pas!
Ne le prenez pas!
Using direct object pronouns in the passé composé:
-
You put the direct object pronoun before the helping verb.
Example: Jean a préparé le dîner.  Jean l’a préparé.
-
In the passé composé, the past participle MUST AGREE in gender and
in number with the preceding direct object pronoun.
Example: Anne a préparé les salades.  Elle les a préparées.
-
There is NO AGREEMENT if the direct object is a noun and it follows the
verb (which takes avoir as a helping verb).
Example: Il a regardé la télévision.
7
-
With étre as a helping verb, agreement is between the subject and the
past participle.
Example: Nous la sommes rétournés.
INDIRECT OBJECT PRONOUNS

me, m’
To me
te, t’
To you (informal)

object pronouns, or reflexives.
- The other pronouns to remember are:
le – him, it
lui – to him, to her
la – her, it
leur – to them
les – them

preceded by a form of à (à, à la, à l’, au, aux)
Example: Je parle à Pierre.  Je lui parle.
- Indirect object pronouns are placed before the verb, just like direct
object pronouns
Example: Je donne le livre à Marie.  Je lui donne le livre.
Je parle aux garcons.  Je leur parle.
- In negative sentences, the indirect object pronoun is placed after the
ne and before the verb.
Example: Pierre ne me donne pas le gâteau.
- If there are 2 verbs, one conjugated and one in the infinitive form, the
indirect object pronoun comes before the infinitive, just like direct
object pronouns.
Example: Janine veut leur parler.
9
- Sometimes “to” is not mentioned in English: I’m giving him the
book. Instead of I’m giving the book to him.
Indirect Object Pronouns in commands:
- In affirmative commands the indirect object pronoun is placed after
the verb, joined by a hyphen, just like direct object pronouns.

- In negative commands, the indirect object pronoun is placed before
the verb, just like direct object pronouns.
Example: Ne me donnez pas le gâteau!
Indirect object pronouns in passé composé:

- There is NO AGREEMENT between the past participle (of a verb
which takes avoir as a helping verb) if there is an indirect object.
Example: Je lui ai donné les disques.
- There must be agreement, in gender and number, if there is a
preceding DIRECT OBJECT .
Example: Je les ai donnés à Mimi.

2. partitive sense
Example: J’ai du pain.  J’en ai.
3. expressions followed by “de”

- En is used to refer to persons or things if the noun is used in the
partitive sense
Example: Avez-vous des soeurs?
Oui, j’en ai deux.
- En is used to refer to places and things but not to persons if the noun
is not used in a partitive sense
Example: Vient-il de Paris?
Oui, il en vient.
11
Oui, j’en ai peur.
Avez-vous peur des serpents?
En in Commands:
- In affirmative commands, en is placed after the verb and joined with a
hyphen
Example: Goutez-en!
- In negative commands, en is placed after ne and before the verb
Example: N’en goutez pas!
The Pronoun Y
- Y means “ there”
- Y is an indirect object form that is used to refer to places or things
- Y replaces a noun preceded by the preposition à (à, à la, au, aux, à
l’), dans, or sur
Example: Allez-vous à la bibliothéque?
Oui, j’y vais.
Les gants sont-ils dans le tiroir?
Oui, ils y sont.
- Y comes before the verb, like direct and indirect object pronouns
Example: Est-ce que le chapeau est sur la commode? Oui, il y est.

- Like direct and indirect object pronouns, y comes after the verb and is
joined by a hyphen in affirmative commands

- In negative commands, y comes after ne and before the verb
Example: N’y allons pas!
- In the passé composé, y comes before the helping verb
Example: Marc y est allé.
12
Deux pronoms compléments ensemble :
-
In many sentences there are both direct and indirect pronouns
-
The rule of thumb is indirect personals (me, te, nous, vous) come first, followed
by the directs (le, la, les) and then the indirects (lui, leur)
me
le
te
la
lui
nous
les
leur
vous
l’
Les pronoms compléments avec l’impératif:
In affirmative commands :
-
Direct or indirect object pronouns follow the verb
-
Me and te become moi and toi
-
When both a direct and indirect object pronoun are used, the direct object pronoun
(le, la, les) come directly after the verb followed by the indirect (me, te, nous,
vous, lui, leur)
moi
le
toi
Verb (Command form) - la -
nous
les
vous
lui
leur
-
Note – object pronouns are connected to the verb by hyphens
13
In negative commands:
-
Direct or indirect object pronouns come before the verb
-
When both a direct and indirect object pronoun are used, the order remains like it
would in a normal sentence
Ne
me
le
te
la
lui
nous
les
leur
verb (command form) pas.
vous
Deux pronoms dans la même phrase:
-
It is possible to use more than one object pronoun in a sentence – you can have
both a direct object pronoun (le, la, les, l’) and an indirect object pronoun (me, te,
nous, vous) in the same sentence
-
Personal pronouns (me, te, nous, vous) will always come BEFORE the direct
object pronouns (le, la, les)
me
te
nous
vous
-
le
la
les
With the double object pronouns, they still go in the exact same place as a single
object pronoun :
o With one verb in the sentence → before the verb
o With 2 verbs in a sentence → before the infinitive
o In the passé composé → before the helping verb
o In a negative sentence with one verb → after the ne but before the verb
o In a negative sentence with 2 verbs → after the pas but before the
infinitive
o In the negative passé composé → after the ne but before the helping verb
Remember, in the passé composé, the past participle MUST AGREE with the
preceding direct object pronoun. Example: Oui, il me les a donnés.
14
Les actions réciproques:
-
Reflexive pronouns (me, te, se, nous, vous) can also be used to express a
reciprocal action or interaction between 2 or more people.
Examples:
Jean voit souvent son ami. Son ami voit souvent Jean. → Jean et son ami se voient
souvent. (Jean and his friend see each other often.)
Tu parles souvent à Marie. Marie te parle sopuvent. → Vous vous parlez souvent.
(You talk to each other often.)
-
In the passé compose, reciprocal verbs take être as a helping verb.
-
The past participle must agree in gender and number with the reciprocal pronoun
only when the pronoun is the direct object of the sentence. (Look at the original
sentences, if they have à followed by a person then it is an indirect object, and
there is no agreement. If there is just a person and no à, then it is a direct object
and there needs to be agreement.)
Examples:
Jean a vu son ami. Et son ami a vu Jean. (no à) → Jean et son ami se sont vus.
(agreement)
Jean a parlé à son ami. Et son ami a parlé à Jean. (à followed by a person) → Jean et son
ami se sont parlé. (no agreement)
Les adjectifs:
-
Adjectives MUST AGREE in gender and number with the noun that it describes
-
To make most adjectives feminine, add an –e
-
To make most adjectives plural, add an –s
-
Note: Many adjectives have a final consonant sound in the feminine form that they
do not have in the masculine form (because the consonant is followed by an –e)
Adjectives with irregular feminine forms:
Adjectives that double the consonant →
15
cruel → cruelle
gentil → gentille
bon → bonne
breton → bretonne
ancien → ancienne
parisien → parisienne
gros → grosse
bas → basse
Adjectives ending in –eux in the masculine form→
furieux → furieuse
généreux → généreuse
sérieux → sérieuse
Adjectives ending in –f in the masculine form →
sportif → sportive
actif → active
Adjectives ending in –er or –et in the masculine form →
cher → chère
étranger → étrangère
complet → complete
inquiet → inquiète
Adjectives with irregular masculine plural forms:
Adjectives ending in –s or –x →
no change:
le gros → les gros
un ami généreux → des amis généreux
Adjectives ending in –al →
social → sociaux
16

des before an adjective preceding a plural noun):
Beauty:
beau, joli

nouveau, vieux, jeune

Projet – Chez …
Scenerio: You need to run some errands and have to go to the
phramacy, post office, service station, or the bank. The only
problem is that you do not know where they are. Ask for
directions to your destination and go get what you need.
Objective: Write the skit that goes along with the scenario. You
can have 3 or 4 people in your group. Each person must have a
minimum of 10 lines. You may have a narrator if you would like.
Skits are to be presented in class. A final TYPED copy of the
script is due at that time. There will be two grades on this project,
a group grade and an individual grade (see rubric below).
Lines must be memorized; however, each group member is
allowed one 3x5 note card in case they forget their lines. Skits
may be recorded if you would like (MAKE SURE THE
RECORDING CAN PLAY ON OUR COMPUTERS).
