All of these structures are correct. Ah! Pronouns in French! Today, we are going to review the main pronouns. We'll see: Yes, all that. In addition, we will do a little quiz to see if you have understood the lesson. So, we're not going to waste any time, but first, subscribe to the channel if you haven't done so yet and press the bell to receive notifications. Let's start. First of all, a quick definition. A pronoun is a word that will replace a noun. That's why it's called a pronoun. You surely know the easiest pronouns: that is to say: As they are subject personal pronouns, their role is to represent the subject of the verb. That's all. For example: You watch my video. You are very kind. They arrive tomorrow. These are subject personal pronouns because they do the action of the verb. They are therefore generally before the verb. Let's move on to tonic pronouns. They are also very easy! We have: Generally, we find them just after a preposition like: For example: Come with me. She's going to sleep at his place. I have a surprise for them. We have these prepositions which precede tonic pronouns. If we use the verb “ÊTRE” plus the preposition “À”, we can also use tonic pronouns and this will designate belonging. For example: This cell phone is mine. That means this phone belongs to me. In addition, we also use tonic pronouns without a preposition to designate people. It's me. It’s you… But it also serves to reinforce a noun or a pronoun. For example: He is Daniel. When I do this, I clarify and reinforce who the person named Daniel is. He's Daniel. It's stronger than: It's Daniel. Here's another example: You leave and she stays here. Here, thanks to the tonic pronouns before the subject pronouns, I reinforce the distinction between the two people. You leave and she stays here. We're going to move on to direct pronouns, but just before that, don't forget to put a "LIKE" if you've already learned something or if you like my videos in general. So, direct complement pronouns. Here they are: Here you must understand one thing. They replace elements that are not preceded by a preposition. They therefore work with direct verbs. With a direct complement pronoun, we answer the questions: What? Who ? Let's see some examples. Do you see the Eiffel Tower? Yes, I see it. What do I see? The Eiffel Tower. So, I use the pronoun to replace "the Eiffel Tower" which corresponds to the third person singular feminine. Do you know these people who speak English? Yes, I know them. Who do I know? These people who speak English. So, I use the pronoun to replace "those people who speak English". It is the third person plural in the feminine form. And if I take my structure from the beginning, we can check that it is correct. Look: Are you giving away your bike? Yes, I give it to my brother. Now, we are going to talk about indirect complement pronouns: They are used to replace a person who is preceded by the preposition “À”. With an indirect complement pronoun, we answer the question: To whom? It's to replace "to someone". For example: Did you call Jeanne? Yes, I called him. Who did I call? To Jeanne. So, I use the pronoun to replace “à Jeanne” which corresponds to the third person singular. Please note, with indirect complement pronouns, there is no difference between masculine and feminine. They are used for both genders. Here's another example: Did you say that to Marie and Samuel? Yes, we told them that yesterday. Who did we say that to? To Mary and Samuel. So, I use the pronoun to replace "to Mary and Samuel" because it is the third person plural. And if I take my structure from the beginning, we can also check that it is correct. Look at. What do you give your brother? I give him my bike. Attention ! We also have reflexive personal pronouns. They are found in pronominal verbs like: wake up or wash. The little word “SE” is a reflexive personal pronoun. We are going to conjugate the verb: Do you see? All the little words right before the verb are reflexive pronouns. Here is the summary table of reflexive pronouns. You learn a lot today. Great ! But we still have two pronouns left.

In fact, it's easy. First of all, it can replace "at a place". Be careful, I said: and not: For example: Are you going to Paris? Yes, I'm going there. When are you returning to Canada? We're going back in December. And if I go back to my structure from the beginning, we can see that it works too. For example: Do you know this school? Yes, I give French lessons there. I think it's clear. But the pronoun “Y” can also replace “to something”. For example: Have you thought about my proposal? Yes, I thought about it. And we arrive at the pronoun “EN”. It's a little more complicated, but I'll simplify things. First, this pronoun can replace a complement that begins with the words: For example: Do you want coffee? Yes, I want some. The complement starts with the word "DU", so I can replace it with this pronoun. And this complement can be a person. Look at. Do you have children? Yes, I have. The complement starts with the word "DES", so I can replace it with this pronoun. And the structure at the beginning, do you remember it? She is correct. Look at. Do you give French lessons? Yes, I've been giving it since 2012. It's the truth! There is a second possibility for using this pronoun. This is when we want to replace a noun and we give its quantity. For example: Do you have a car? Yes, I have one. And you ? I have two! In this example, the pronoun "EN" replaces the word "car" and we give the quantity (1 and 2). Now for the great summary before our quiz. Subject personal pronouns make the action of the subject. Tonic pronouns accompany prepositions or reinforce the subject. Direct complement pronouns answer the questions: What? Who ? Indirect complement pronouns answer the question: To whom? Reflexive personal pronouns work with pronominal verbs. The pronoun "Y" replaces "at a place" or "at something" The pronoun "EN" replaces: You know everything you need to do the QUIZ! Question number 1: Do you often go to the United States? The correct answer is: Yes, I go there often. in one place Question number 2: Do you eat vegetables? The correct answer is: Yes, I eat it every day. Question number 3: Are you going to call your mother? The correct answer is: Yes, I will call him. To someone. It's indirect. Question number 4: What is the correct sentence? The correct answer is: Is your name Bernard? This verb is pronominal and the subject personal pronoun “YOU” works with the reflexive personal pronoun “YOU”. Is your name Bernard? Question number 5: Do you have cats? The correct answer is: Yes, we have two. We replaced the word "cats" with the pronoun "EN" and gave the quantity (2). Question number 6: Have you thought about this thing? The correct answer is: Yes, I thought about it. Question number 7: Who ate my chocolate bar? The correct answer is: It's them! I refer to several people, so I use this tonic pronoun. So how did it go? Give me your result in the comments and tell me what you thought of this lesson.
