Newsletter: Object Pronoun Party!

🥳 Object Pronoun Party! 🎉

This week, we’re learning to use these magical little words enabling our general French less repetitive and cumbersome: object pronouns 🙌

Object pronouns are super useful to avoid repeating pre-mentioned elements: me, him, them… In French, you’ll learn that not only their position in the sentence usually differs from English, but also that there are different pronouns whether they replace direct or indirect objects in the sentence… Ne paniquez pas, ça va aller 😅💪

Alors, sans plus attendre, let’s mingle and get familiar with the French object pronouns!

Have a look at the following dialogue, packed with French direct and indirect object pronouns:

“- Anna m’a dit que Sam était là ce soir. Est-ce que tu l’as vu ?
– Non, je ne l’ai pas aperçu. Tu veux lui parler ?
– Oui, Olivier et lui me rejoignent demain normalement. Je les accompagne à la piscine, mais j’ai besoin de leur demander à quelle heure.
– Ben, si je le vois, je te le dis, promis !
– Super, merci. Je vais nous chercher un verre, je reviens !”
