Indirect object pronouns:
me, te, nous, vous
Notes # 4
Lui and Leur
 You
have already learned the indirect
object pronouns “lui” and “leur”
 “Lui” is the third person singular
indirect object pronoun and means
“to him or to her.”

answer “to whom” or “for whom” the
action of the verb is being done.

Vous

Leur

Direct object pronouns
 Remember
that our direct object
pronouns directly receive the action
of the verb. They are:
 Me
Nous
 Te
Vous
 Le/la
Les
How do we tell the difference
between the two types of
pronouns?
Look at the function of the pronoun in the
sentence. IF the pronoun answers “to
whom” or “for whom” the action is being
done, it is a indirect object pronoun.
 Ex: Il me parle.= He speaks to me.
 If the pronoun receives the action of the
verb, it is a direct object pronoun.
 Ex: Il me voit=He sees me

Warning
 Some
verbs always take an indirect
object in French even though they
take a direct object in English.
 Look out for téléphoner à and
ressembler à
