Lesson details

Vocabulary and transcripts for this lessons

Key learning points

  1. Use me and te when 'me' or 'you' is indirectly receiving the action of the verb: elle me donne un cadeau (gives to me).
  2. Direct and indirect object pronouns are very useful when expressing opinions: ça me surprend; l'idée m'intéresse ...
  3. Some museums in France and other countries which had colonies are taking steps to decolonise their exhibitions.

Keywords

  • Object pronoun - a word that takes the place of a person, place or thing receiving the action of the verb

  • Me (m’) - me, to me

  • Te (t’) - you, to you

Common misconception

French object pronouns go after the verb in place of the object, just as in English. e.g. The museum interests me.

French object pronouns go before the verb. e.g. Le musée m'intéresse. When speaking and writing French we have to take care to use the correct word, especially for object pronouns.

For the slides featuring conversation between Léa and Amir, the slide is animated so that audio is played with each appearing. For classroom use, this may not be practical, in which case, amending the animation should be considered.
