Révision pre-examen BI : leçon n°5 : les pronoms
 Les pronoms personnels
o Subject pronouns : je, tu, il/elle/on, nous, vous, ils/elles
o Object pronouns : these are affected, or receive the action of, the verb.
 Direct : me, te, nous, vous, se, le, la, les
 These replace a person, animal, or thing that is directly affected by a verb.
 They go right before the verb they are linked to in a sentence.
 When located before the passé compose in a sentence, the past participle
must agree with the direct object pronoun in gender and number.
o EX: Les bananes? Je les ai achetées hier.
 In the negative, the ne…pas is placed around the pronoun and verb.
o EX: Les bananes? Je ne les veux pas.
 Indirect : me, te, nous, vous, lui, leur
 These replace people or animals that are indirectly affected by the verb.
Prepositions indicate that the action affecting the object is indirect.
o Some common verbs that can take an indirect object:
demander à / dire à / téléphoner à / écrire à / donner à / acheter
pour / expliquer à / répondre à
 They go right before the verb they are linked to in a sentence.
 There is no agreement in the passé composé with these pronouns.
o Ex: Suzanne? Je lui ai donné un livre.
 In the negative, the ne…pas is placed around the pronoun and verb.
o EX: Suzanne ? Je ne lui parle pas.
 Le pronom Y : also an indirect object pronoun ; it replaces places and objects,
but never people/animals. Follows same general rules as above.
 Je vais à Paris  J’y vais. Nous sommes allées chez Michelle.  Nous y
sommes allées. Tu as répondu à la question ?  Tu y as répondu ?
 Les pronoms disjoints : moi, toi, lui, elle, nous, vous, eux, elles, soi.
 These replace people or animals. These are used after prepositions, when
the indirect object pronouns above would make the sentence too
ambiguous.
o Ex: I think of you. Je te pense.  Je pense à toi.
 These come after the verb they are linked to in the sentence.
o Ex: Je voudrais aller en vacances avec toi.
o Le pronom en
 En replaces a noun introduced by de. This happens in the following situations:
 Le partitif: when talking about some of something, de is used, and thus de
+ obj. can be replaced by en.
o Ex: Je voudrais de la soupe.  J’en veux. Tu as vu des
touristes ?  Tu en as vu ?
 Verbs that must followed by de : these will often employ en.
o Parler de / s’occuper de / se souvenir de / avoir besoin-peur-envie
de / être triste de / avoir l’intention de
