06.03 Les Objets
Let’s Review!!Direct Object Pronouns answer the questions WHO or WHAT. French Direct Object Pronouns:
Did you notice that you drop the "e" in front of vowel and replace with an apostrophe?
When you replace the noun with the pronoun, you have to use the one that is the same (masculine or feminine) and (singular or plural) as the noun. A pronoun replaces a NOUN.
Important:
In English, the object pronouns are placed after the verb, but in French, of course, it is not the same. The object pronouns go the verb.
Example:
Paul looks at me. Paul me regarde.
Il t'invite au cinéma. He invites you to the movies. me/m’ (me) nous (us)
te / t’ (you) vous (you/you all) le / la / l’ (him/her/it) les (them)
Ils nous adorent. He loves us. Je les mange. I eat them.
If there are two verbs, the pronoun will go in between the verbs. Example:
Je vais mettre le pull. Je vais le mettre.

Antoine a vu ses copines? Oui, il les a vues.
Sophie a entendu sa mère? Oui, elle l'a entendue. Laure a écouté son disque? Oui, elle l'a écouté.
