Les pronoms

Pronouns can be tricky in French. They are placed differently than in English, and the pronouns, y and en, don't really exist in English. Review the websites in the below. Pronouns should be a review for you at this point in your studies of French. Nonetheless, pay attention to the following in regards to pronouns:

  1. Placement of the pronoun
  2. Which pronoun do you use? Direct object? Indirect object? Context and verbs are extremely important in making these determinations.
  3. Take a good look at the table. Hopefully, the table will help solidify your understanding of how to place French pronouns.
  4. What preposition is associated with the verb?
    1. For example, s'intéresser à :
      1. Je m'intéresse à la politique. = I am interested in politics.
    2. To replace à la politique you would use the pronoun y.
      1. Je m'y intéresse = I am interested in it.
  5. It is really important to learn that different verbs and expressions call for certain prepositions.
