Answer 44

Nous demandons l'addition. Nous la demandons.

Question 45

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

Answer 45

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.

Question 46

``` Personal Pronouns (les pronoms personnels) Where is the direct object pronoun placed? ```

Answer 46

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.

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.

Question 127

``` Personal Pronouns (les pronoms personnels) When is the pronoun ''y'' used? ```

Answer 127

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.

Question 128

``` Personal Pronouns (les pronoms personnels) Is there an agreement between pronoun ''y'' and past participle? ```

Question 132

``` Personal Pronouns (les pronoms personnels) What is the position of the pronoun ''y'' in a sentence? ```

Answer 132

1. ''Y'' follows the same rules as the direct and indirect object pronouns, i.e., in simple tenses and in the negative imperative, ''y'' precedes the verb; in compound tenses, ''y'' precedes the auxiliary; and if an infinitive is present, ''y'' precedes the infinitive. In the positive imperative, y follows the verb to which it is attached by a hyphen. Mangez-y! - Eat there!

Question 201

``` Personal Pronouns (les pronoms personnels) When is the pronoun ''en'' used? ```

Answer 201

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''.

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.

Question 308

``` Personal Pronouns (les pronoms personnels) What is the sequence of double object pronouns in a sentence? ```

Answer 308

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. 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''.

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.

Question 368

``` Personal Pronouns (les pronoms personnels) When are the disjunctive pronouns used? ```

Answer 368

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.
