Key learning points

  1. Emphatic pronouns are often used after prepositions.
  2. Emphatic pronouns include moi (me) and toi (you). They apply only to people, not things.
  3. sans (without), pour (for), avant (before) and chez (at the house/place of) are all followed by emphatic pronouns.
  4. [an] sounds like 'enfant' and [oi] sounds like 'voir'.

Keywords

  • Preposition - a word that is used before a noun, a noun phrase, or a pronoun, connecting it to another word

  • Emphatic pronoun - used to emphasize a person, or when the pronoun stands alone, or after certain prepositions

Common misconception

The letter combinations [en] and [an] are pronounced differently in French.

The letter combinations [en] and [an] make the same sound in French, as can be heard in the word 'enfant'.
