2. The Direct Object
A direct object is the person or thing receiving the action of the verb.

Here are the direct object pronouns:

Exemple: Vous allez regarder le film?
Oui, nous allons le regarder.
Sophie vous invite chez elle.
Elle nous invite chez elle?

5. Me, te, le, la change to m’, t’ and l’ before a vowel
*Me, te, le, la change to m’, t’ and l’ before a vowel. Exemple: Pierrot t’envoie une carte d’anniversaire.
