Avril 2016 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 Notez l’ordre des pronoms compléments d’objet (à l’exception des pronoms disjoints, qui sont toujours après le verbe) 1.
