A direct object pronoun replaces a noun that is the object of a sentence. The direct object pronouns in French are: me (me) te (you) le (him/it) An indirect object is a word or phrase that informs to whom or for whom something is being done. It can be a person, an animal, or a thing. Not every sentence has a direct object pronoun, but there's a good chance that if a sentence does have a direct object, it will also have an indirect object. A – The Key To Figuring Out French Direct And Indirect Object Pronouns As I explained in the first paragraph, the key to figuring out what pronoun you should use to replace a French word is understanding the grammatical value of that word. In order to do that, you will ask a very specific grammatical question. To find out the COD (complement d’objet direct) and the COI (complement d’objet indirect) it is essential that you ask your grammatical questions IN FRENCH. The problem with direct and indirect objects is that English may take a COI where French takes a COD… So if you ask your grammatical question in English, you may get the wrong answer: for example ‘to call someone’ takes a direct object in English. “Téléphoner à quelqu’un” takes an indirect object in French. Your grammar questions are: subject + verb + qui/quoi ? = COD subject + verb + à qui = COI Now let’s take an example, it will make much more sense this way. ``` Tina donne les fleurs à Paul Start by finding out the direct object by asking your direct object question in French. Subject + verb + qui/quoi ? Tina donne quoi ? Answer: Tina donne les fleurs Les fleurs = COD ``` ``` Now let’s look for the indirect object. Subject + verb + à qui ? Tina donne à qui ? Answer: à Paul À Paul = COI ``` If you understand this process, then you understand direct and indirect objects in French. Once you’ve found the word you want to replace, you choose the right pronoun in the list of pronouns. B – French Direct Object Pronouns The list of French COD pronouns is: Me, te, le/la, nous, vous, les – note me, te, le/la become m’, t’, l’ + vowel or h So for my example, “les fleurs” is replaced by “les” = Tina les donne à Paul. C – French Indirect Object Pronouns The list of French COI pronouns is: Me, te, LUI, nous, vous, LEUR – note me and te become m’ or t’ + vowel or h So for my example, “à Paul” is replaced by “lui” = Tina lui donne les fleurs. So, for a COI, lui means him AND her (unlike stress pronouns where lui means him, elle means her). Important: Note that for both object groups, me, te, nous, vous are the same. So the pronoun only change between le, la, l’, les, lui, leur.

Answer 18

What Are Direct Objects? Sooner or later, you'll probably encounter direct objects under their French name, compléments d'objet direct (COD). Direct objects appear in sentences with transitive verbs (a verb depicting an action that is done to something or someone). The direct object is the recipient of that action--the noun that's having the action done to it. For instance, in Mon père conduit une Zamboni, Zamboni is the direct object because it is being driven 'my father.' There's a helpful way to identify direct objects--the three As: ``` Article défini (definite article) Adjectif possessif (possessive adjective) Adjectif démonstratif (demonstrative adjective) If an object is preceded by one of these--a definite article or a possessive or demonstrative adjective--then it's direct. Nous bavardons avec nos amis, for example, is a sentence without a direct object. J'aime bien mon institutrice de français is a sentence with a direct object. ``` Direct Object Pronouns Direct objects can often be replaced with pronouns. Below are the pronouns that can be used for direct objects: ``` Me (me) Te (you informal) Vous (you plural or formal) Le/la (he, she or it) Nous (us) Les (them) Note that you should always use the pronouns corresponding with the gender of the object. For instance, Je fais la vaisselle (I'm doing the dishes) becomes Je la fais. If you're in a group waiting for a friend and someone asks if you see Marc, you would answer Je le vois or, of course, Je ne le vois pas if you don't see him. ```

Answer 19

Indirect Objects An indirect object, which goes by the French name complément d'objet indirect, (COI), is an object in a sentence affected by the action of the transitive verb. For instance, in Je donnes du lait à mon chat, the indirect object is the milk (lait)--it is what is affected when the subject (je) feeds the direct object (mon chat). Indirect Object Pronouns Indirect objects can also be replaced with pronouns, including: ``` Me (me) Te (you informal) Vous (you plural or formal) le/la (it) Lui (him/her) Nous (we) Leur (their) ```

Answer 20

the action of the verb is performed on the subject 'by an agent'

Answer 21

the agent is usually introduced by the prepositions PAR or DE 1.when the verb expresses an action; the agent is introduced by the preposition PAR eg. Active voice: David fait le ménage (David is doing the housework) Passive voice: Le ménage est fait par David (the housework is done by David) Active voice: Lise lit le livre (Lise is reading the book) Passive voice: Le livre est lu par Lise (the book is read by Lise) 2. when the verb expresses a state of being; the agent is either introduced by DE or left out entirely Active voice: Tout le monde le respect (Everyone respects him) Passive voice: Il est respecté de tout le monde (he is respected by everyone) Il est éminemment respecté (he is highly respected) Active voice: Mes amis aiment ma mère (my friends love my mother) Passive voice: Ma mère est aimée de mes amis (my mother is loved by my friends)

Answer 22

in active voice, the subject is subject because it makes the action. The verb is said to be in the active voice In the active voice the subject performs the action on the verb.

Answer 23

the passive voice is formed with the conjugated verb être and the past participle. the past participle has to agree with the subject, not the agent, in gender and number, just like être verbs in the passé composé
