Key learning points
- Use me and te when 'me' or 'you' is indirectly receiving the action of the verb: elle me donne un cadeau (gives to me).
- Direct and indirect object pronouns are very useful when expressing opinions: ça me surprend; l'idée m'intéresse ...
- 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.
