Lessons
- 1Direct and Indirect Object Pronouns in Every TenseA quick recap of the Grade 9 object pronouns, then the Grade 10 layer: letting the French verb (not the English one) decide between direct and indirect, placing the pronoun correctly in every tense, and making the past participle agree with a direct object pronoun.12 questions
- 2Y and En in DepthA recap of y for places and en for quantities, then the full picture: y replaces à + a thing, en replaces de + a thing, people need a different pronoun, and both words follow the same position and agreement rules as other object pronouns.12 questions
- 3Double Object PronounsWhen one sentence replaces two objects, French uses two pronouns in a fixed order: me, te, se, nous, vous, then le, la, les, then lui, leur, then y, then en. This lesson teaches the order, how the pair moves through every tense as one block, and how agreement still works.Interactive12 questions
- 4Pronouns with CommandsPositive commands are the one place where object pronouns follow the verb. This lesson covers the affirmative order (Donne-le-moi, Donne-m'en, Vas-y, Manges-en), the return to normal order in negative commands (Ne me le donne pas), and pronominal verbs such as Lève-toi and Va-t'en.11 questions
- 5Stressed and Possessive PronounsStressed pronouns (moi, toi, lui, elle, nous, vous, eux, elles) do every job the object pronouns cannot: after prepositions, after c'est, in comparisons and for emphasis. Possessive pronouns (le mien, la tienne, les nôtres) and demonstrative pronouns (celui, celle, ceux, celles) let you point to a noun without repeating it.12 questions
- 6Relative Pronouns: Qui, Que, Dont, OùRelative pronouns join two ideas into one sentence. After a recap of qui and que, this lesson adds dont (replacing de + a noun, and meaning whose) and où (for places and for times), with a four-question method for choosing the right one.12 questions
