Key learning points
- Use possessive adjectives with nouns to say who things belong to.
- When there is an '-s' or '-n' at the end of a possessive, and a vowel follows, liaison occurs.
- Direct object pronouns are: 'me', 'te', 'le', 'la', 'l'', 'nous', 'vous', 'les'. They go before the verb.
- Indirect object pronouns are: 'me', 'te', 'lui', 'nous', 'vous', 'leur'. They go before the verb.
Keywords
Possessive adjective - a word that goes before a noun to show ownership or belonging
Direct object pronoun - replaces the noun receiving the action of the verb, e.g., 'me', 'you', 'it', 'them'
Indirect object pronoun - replaces the person, people or thing(s) that the verb action is done to, when the action is 'to me', 'for you', 'to them'
Common misconception
'Nous' always means 'we'.
'Nous' means 'we' when used as a subject pronoun, but it means 'us' when used as a direct object pronoun and '(to) us' when used as an indirect object pronoun.
