French Pronouns Practice

1. Subject Pronouns

Subject pronouns replace nouns as the subject of a sentence.

Singular:
je (I), tu (you), il (he), elle (she), on (one/we)

Plural:
nous (we), vous (you), ils (they masc.), elles (they fem.)

Example: Je parle français. (I speak French.)

2. Direct Object Pronouns

Direct object pronouns replace nouns that receive the action directly.

Forms:
me (me), te (you), le (him/it), la (her/it), nous (us), vous (you), les (them)

Placement: Before the conjugated verb.

Example: Je le vois. (I see him.)

3. Indirect Object Pronouns

Indirect object pronouns replace nouns that receive the action indirectly.

Forms:
me (to me), te (to you), lui (to him/her), nous (to us), vous (to you), leur (to them)

Placement: Before the conjugated verb.

Example: Je lui parle. (I speak to him/her.)

4. Reflexive Pronouns

Reflexive pronouns are used with reflexive verbs.

Forms:
me (myself), te (yourself), se (himself/herself/itself), nous (ourselves), vous (yourself/yourselves), se (themselves)

Placement: Before the conjugated verb.

Example: Je me lève. (I get up.)

5. Disjunctive Pronouns

Disjunctive pronouns are used for emphasis or after prepositions.

Forms:
moi (me), toi (you), lui (him), elle (her), nous (us), vous (you), eux (them masc.), elles (them fem.)

Example: C'est moi! (It's me!)

6. Relative Pronouns

Relative pronouns introduce relative clauses.

Forms:
qui (who/which - subject), que (whom/which - object), dont (whose/of which), où (where/when)

Example: La femme qui parle est ma sœur. (The woman who is speaking is my sister.)
