Q 
Personal Pronouns (les pronoms personnels)
When are the direct object pronouns used?
A

Direct object pronouns replace direct noun objects (which can be preceded by the definite article, a possessive or demonstrative adjective). A noun is direct object if it follows the verb without a preposition.
f.e. In the sentence ‘‘J’aime ma mère.’’ ‘‘ma mère’’ is a direct object because it is not preceded by ‘‘à’’, ‘‘de’’ or any other preposition.

Q 
Personal Pronouns (les pronoms personnels)
What happens if two verbs have the same direct object pronoun in a sentence?
A

This pronoun must be repeated if the verb is in a simple tense.
f.e. Je la respecte et (je) l’admire.
If a verb is in a compound tense, the object pronoun does not have to be repeated. But the second object pronoun can only be omitted if the second auxiliary is deleted as well.
Je t’ai vu et reconnu.
or: Je t’ai vu et (je) t’ai reconnu.

Q 
Personal Pronouns (les pronoms personnels)
Where is the direct object pronoun placed?
A
  1. In all simple tenses, the direct object pronoun is placed immediately before the verb.
    f.e. Je t’écoute.
    In the negative sentences, ‘‘ne’’ precedes the object pronoun.
    f.e. Je ne te comprends pas.
  2. In all compound tenses, the direct object pronoun is placed immediately before the auxiliary. The past participle agrees in gender and number with the preceding direct object pronoun.
    f.e. Il les a presentés.
    In a negative sentence, ‘‘ne’’ precedes the object pronoun, ‘‘pas’’ follows the auxiliary.
    f.e. Je ne vous ai pas compris(e)
  3. If a infinite is present, the direct obecjt pronoun is placed before the infinitive.
    f.e. Nous passerons te prendre.
    If the infinitive is negated, ‘‘ne pas’’ is placed before the object pronoun.
    f.e. Je préfère ne pas le voir
    BUT
    If the infinitive follows a verb of perception (regarder, voir, écouter, entendre, sentir) or the verbs faire and laisser, the direct object pronoun is not placed before the infinitive, but before the conjugated verb or, in a compund tense, before the auxiliary.
    f.e. Je la vois ariver. Je l’ai entendu dire.
  4. In the negative imperative, the direct object pronouns are placed before the verb.
    f.e. Ne nous dérangez pas.
  5. In the positive imperative, the object pronoun follows the verb (attached to it by a hyphen), and ‘‘me’’ becomes ‘‘moi’’
    f.e. Regardez-le
  6. '’Nous’’ and ‘‘vous’’ are both subject and object pronouns. If used as object pronouns, they are closer to the verb than the subject pronoun but do of course not determine the form of of the verb. The verb always agrees with the subject of the sentence.

Q 
Personal Pronouns (les pronoms personnels)
When is ''le'' used as a neutral pronoun?
A
  1. Le can replace an adjective or a noun without an article which follows the verb ‘‘être’’, i.e., a noun that is treated like an adjective in the sentence.
    f.e. Êtes-vous marié(e)? - Oui, je le suis.
    Neutral pronoun ‘‘le’’ never changes even if the adjective or noun it replaces is feminine or plural.
  2. Le can replace entire clause
    - often having the English equivalent ‘‘so’’ or ‘‘to’’
    f.e. Elle peut partir si elle le souhaite.
    - often without an equivalent in English when used idiomatically (with the verbs savoir, dire, (se) demander, jurer, promettre and oublier)
    f.e. Savez-vous qu’il a eu un accident? - Oui, je le sais.

What is the position of the indirect object pronouns in a sentence?
A

The same rules apply as for the direct object pronouns, i.e., in a simple tense and in the negative imperative, the indirect object pronouns are placed before the verb, in a compound tense before the auxiliary, an of the conjugatd before the infinitive if there is one (except with faire and if the pronoun is the object of the conjugated verb). In the positive imperative, these pronouns are placed after the verb (attached to it by a hyphen) and me becomes moi.

Q 
Personal Pronouns (les pronoms personnels)
When is the pronoun ''y'' used?
A
  1. '’Y’’ is used to replace things only. One cannot use ‘‘y’‘to persons.
  2. The pronoun ‘‘y’’ replaces à (à l’, à la, au, aux)+name of a thing or things.
    Répondez-vous à la letrre? - Oui, j’y reponds.
  3. '’Y’’ replaces any preposition (except ‘‘de’’) indicating a location or a destination (à, en, dans, sur, sous, devant, etc.). In this role, ‘‘y’’ is an adverb and means there.
    Habitez-vous en Espagne? - Non, je n’y habite pas.
  4. The pronoun ‘‘y’’ replaces ‘‘à’’ + subordinate clause or infinitive phrase if the verb or expression preceding this clause or infinitive construction requires ‘‘à’’ also before a noun object, or cannot take a noun object at all (such as ‘‘arriver à’’ and ‘‘parvenir à’’ - to succeed).
    Penses-tu à ce que tu as appris? - Oui, j’y pense.
  5. With the future or conditional forms of the verb ‘‘aller’’, ‘‘y’’ is omited since two sounds would clash.
    Irez-vous à Londres la semaine prochaine? - Oui, j’irai.

201
Q 
Personal Pronouns (les pronoms personnels)
When is the pronoun ''en'' used?
A
  1. The pronoun ‘‘en’’ replaces noun objects (things) introduced by ‘‘de’’. It is therefore used with nouns preceded by the partitive and plural indefinite articles (du, de la, de l’, des) as well as with verbs, idioms and expressions (consisting of être+adjective) that require ‘‘de’’ before a noun object.
    - when used to replace a noun preceded by the partitive or plural indefinite article, ‘‘en’’ means ‘‘some’’ or ‘‘any’’
    Avez-vous acheté des fraises?
    Oui, j’en ai acheté. Vous en voulez? - Non, je n’en veux pas.
    -when used to replace a noun after verbs and expressions requiring ‘‘de’’ before their complement, ‘‘en’’ means it, of it, about it, for it, of them, about them or for them.
    Jouez-vous de piano? - Oui, j’en joue.
    -when used to replace ‘‘de’‘+name of the place, ‘‘en’’ is an adverb and means from there.
    Venez-vous de France?-Oui, j’en viens.
  2. The pronoun ‘‘en’’ replaces infinitives introduced by ‘‘de’’, but only if the verb or expression preceding ‘‘de’’ would take ‘‘de’’ before a noun object also, or if this expression cannot take a noun object.
    Avez-vous envie de sortir? - Non, je n’en ai pas envie.
  3. The pronoun ‘‘en’’ can also replace a clause. This clause is not always introduced by ‘‘de’’ (often by ‘‘que’’ instead), but the verb or expression used after ‘‘en’’ would take ‘‘de’’ before a noun object.
    Tu te souviens de ce que je t’ai dit? - NOui, je m’en souviens
  4. The pronoun ‘‘en’’ must be used before the verb in sentences which contain a number or an expression of quantity (such as beaucoup, trop, plusieurs, combien, un kilo, un litre, etc.) which is not followed by a noun. In this context, ‘‘en’’ has the meaning of them, of it which is not expressed in English.
    Est-ce que c’est une bonne affaire? - C’en est une.
    - in a negative sentence, ‘‘en’’ is used, but ‘‘un(e)’’ disappears; all others numbers are kept
    As-tu un caméscope?
    Oui, j’en ai un. / Non, je n’en ai pas.
  5. '’En’’ is mostly used for things. It can however replace nouns referring to persons in the following instances.
    - when the persons are introduced by the plural partitive or indefinite article ‘‘des’’
    Avez-vous des enfants? - Oui, j’en ai.
    - with expressions of quantity or with a number
    Connaissez-vous beaucoup de professeurs? - Oui, j’en connais beaucoup.
    In all other cases however, ‘‘en’’ cannot be used to replace a person after ‘‘de’’.

What is the sequence of double object pronouns in a sentence?
A

When two object pronouns occur in a sentence, they have the same position as single object pronouns, i.e., they precede the veratb in simple tenses and in the negative imperative, they precede the auxiliary in compound tenses and they precede the infinitive (if there is one), in the following order:

me (m')   le (l')   lui
te (t')       la (l')   leur
se (s')  +  les   +        + y + en
nous
vous

'’me’’, ‘‘te’’, ‘‘se’’, ‘‘nous’’, ‘‘vous’’ (no matter whether they are reflexive, direct or indirect objects) always come first, and ‘‘y’’ and ‘‘en’’ come last.

'’me’’, ‘‘te’’, ‘‘se’’, ‘‘nous’’, ‘‘vous’’ (no matter whether they are reflexive, direct or indirect objects) always come first, and ‘‘y’’ and ‘‘en’’ come last.

The direct object pronouns ‘‘me’’, ‘‘te’’, ‘‘se’’, ‘‘nous’’, ‘‘vous’’ cannot be combined with an indirect object pronoun. While one can say ‘‘je vous la présente’’, since ‘‘vous’’ is indirect object, one CANNOT say ‘‘elle me leur présente’’ since ‘‘me’’ is direct object in this sentence. Whenever ‘‘me’’, ‘‘te’’, ‘‘se’’, ‘‘nous’’ and ‘‘vous’’ are direct objects in a sentence, the indirect object is expressed by ‘‘à + disjunctive pronoun’’.

Q 
Personal Pronouns (les pronoms personnels)
What is the position of double object pronouns in the imperative?
A
  1. In the affirmative imperative, double object pronouns follow the verb (attached to it and to one another by a hyphen) in the following order:
le       moi (m' before ''en'')
la   +  toi (t' before ''en'')      +  y  +  en
les     lui
          nous
          vous
          leur

Affirmative imperatives where ‘‘y’’ would follow a direct object prononun are avoided. One uses ‘‘là’’ or ‘‘à cela’’ instead.
f.e. Mets-toi là!

  1. In the negative imperative, the order and place of double object pronouns is the same as in negative declarative sentence.
    f. e. Ne m’en parlez pas!

When is the the disjunctive pronoun ''soi'' used?
A

f.e. On pense souvent d’abord à soi.

365
Q 
Personal Pronouns (les pronoms personnels)
Where are the disjunctive pronouns placed?
A

Unlike the conjunctive pronouns (direct object pronouns, indirect object pronouns, reflexive pronouns and the pronouns ‘‘y’’ and ‘‘en’’), the disjunctive pronouns are not placed before the verb, except if they are part of a compound subject. They are often at the end of the sentence, frequently after a preposition.

Q 
Personal Pronouns (les pronoms personnels)
When are the disjunctive pronouns used?
A
  1. After prepositions
    f.e. J’ai téléphoné à Marie. mais elle n’était chez elle.
    After the preposition ‘‘à’’ with a limited number of verbs and expressions which do not allow the use of an indirect object.
    f.e. penser à - Je pense à lui.
    Note that after these verbs, the preposition ‘‘à’’ is kept and the disjunctive pronoun is used only when persons are replaced. to replace things, ‘‘y’’’ is used, just like with all other verbs requiring ‘‘à’’ before their object.
    f.e. Il pense à son travail. - Il y pense.
    With most verbs requiring ‘‘à’’ before object a personal object, this object is replaced by the indirect object pronoun.
  2. In answers, questions and exclamations where the pronoun stands alone, or when it is used without a verb.
    f.e. Qui a dit ça? - Lui!
  3. In compound subjects or objects, i.e., if the subject or object of a verb consists of two pronouns, or a noun and a pronoun.
    f.e. Robert et moi allons nous marier en mai.
  4. After ‘‘ni…ni’’
    f.e. Ni lui ni elle ne sont venus.
  5. For emphasis after ‘‘ce’’ and a form of the verb ‘‘être’’, often followed by ‘‘qui’’ or ‘'’que’’
    Qui est-ce? - C’est moi.
  6. To reinforce a subject or object pronoun (in this context, one places the disjunctive pronoun at the beginning or at the end of the sentence. If an indirect object pronoun is reinforced, ‘‘à’’ precedes the disjunctive pronoun.)
    f.e. Moi, je suis contre.
  7. After ‘‘que’’ in comparisons and after ‘‘ne…que’’
    f.e. Il est plus âgé que moi.
  8. After ‘‘comme’’
    f.e. Faites comme moi.
  9. After ‘‘à’’ following a possesive adjective + noun to clarify or emphasize who the tached towner of something is
    f.e. sa voiture à lui
  10. With the suffix ‘‘même’’, attached to it by a hyphen to express ‘‘myself, yourself, etc.’’
    f.e. moi-même
  11. The disjunctive pronouns ‘‘moi’’ and ‘‘toi’’ replace the pronouns ‘‘me’’ and ‘‘te’’ in the affirmative imperative (where they are placed after the verb) except before ‘‘en’’.
    f.e. Apporte-moi le journal!
  12. When a sentence has tw is expressedo objects, one direct and one indirect, and when ‘‘me, te, se, nous, vous’’ are direct objects in this sentence, the indirect object is expressed by ‘‘à’’’ + disjunctive pronoun.
