- The subject pronouns go before the conjugated verb forms.
- The direct and indirect Objectpronouns go before the verb unlike in English.
- They also go after the ne in a negative sentence and right before the verb.
- The disjunctive always go after prepositions, or can beused alone for emphasis.
Exemples :
I buy some pants. | J’achète des pantalons. |
I buy them. | Je les achète. |
I give the box to you. | Je vous donne la boîte. |
I give it to you. | Je vous la donne. |
After you. (familiar) | Après toi. |
We go with her. | Nous allons avec elle. |
He doesn’t leave her. | Il ne la quitte pas. |
He leaves her. | Il la quitte. |
I love you. | Je t’aime. or Je vous aime. |
She doesn’t love him. | Elle ne l’aime pas. |
Note: When you have more than one pronoun; me, te, nous,or vous come first, then le, la, or les, then luior leur. Me, te, le, and la contract to m’,t’, and l’ when they precede a vowel, the same way je does. In commands, the pronouns go after the verb, connected with a hyphen. And the pronoun order changes a little too: Le, la, orles come first; then moi, toi, (Me and te become moi and toiin commands) nous, or vous; then lui, or leur.
If you have pronouns, they go before the complete verb in regularsentences; but after the ne and before the form of avoir innegative sentences.
Nous lui avons parlé. | We spoke to him/her. |
Vous en avez écouté trois. | You’ve listened to three of them. |
Je t’ai demandé du pain. | I asked you for some bread. |
Il ne l’a pas aimé. | He didn’t like it/her/him. |
Tu n’y as pas habité. | You didn’t live there. |
Je ne vous ai pas parlé. | I didn’t speak (or haven’t spoken) to you. |
Nous ne l’avons pas fini. | We didn’t finish (or haven’t finished) it. |
In the passé composé with avoir, direct objectpronouns only must agree in gender and number with the past participle.
Je les ai aimés. | I liked them. |
Il l’a regardée. | He watched her. |
Elles nous ont écouté(e)s. | They listened to us. |
Note: Add an e if the pronoun is feminine, and ans if it is plural. The l’ could mean him or her,so you might not need to put the extra e on the past participle. The same for nous and vous. They must have an s becausethey are plural, but it is unclear as to whether they are masculine or feminine.
