1. Pronoms Accentués Stressed Pronouns

2. Pronouns  First of all, let’s take a look at words in French.  There are two kinds of words. Le words and La words.  The La words can be replaced by “elle”  The Le words can be replaced by “il”

3. Pronouns  Les words  Les words are more than one “le” word or “la” word  Le pupitre+ another le pupitre= les pupitres  La chaise + another la chaise = les chaises  Notice when there’s only one, its still a le or la word. Be sure you know which one is a le word when there’s only one and which one is a la word when there’s only one.

4. Les Words  Les words can be replaced by ‘ils’ or ‘elles’  Ils is if the word is originally a le word  Elles is if the word is originally a la word

5. What If You have a Le word and a la word together??  Le pupitre+ la porte would be replaced by “ils”  Le garcon + la fille would be replaced by “ils”

6. A few more  If you are talking about yourself or if you see a “moi,” replace it with “je”  If you are talking about you and someone else (we) or if you see an “et moi,” You are going to use “nous”  If you are talking about someone else and the person you are talking about “you guys,” you use “vous”  A second way to see “we “ is “on”

7. Now that we know how to replace words  What happens if it is at the end of the sentence?  Richard and I  Monique and you  Jérome and us  Dominique and you guys  Marc, Mélissa, and them

8. JE  In english, you notice that the first sentence is not « Richard and me. »  We change it to « Richard and I »  The same thing happens in French.  In stead of « Richard et Je » - THIS DOES NOT WORK IN FRENCH  It becomes « Richard et MOI »

9. Tu  In english, you do not say « Richard and you, » but « you and Richard. » If you say it the other way, it sounds wrong.  In French, we do not say « Richard et tu. » NEVER SAY THIS TO A FRENCH PERSON  We say « Richard et toi »  Tu becomes toi

10. IL/ELLE  In english, we do not say « Richard and he » or « Richard and she »  We say « Richard and him » or « Richard and her »  In French, we do the same. If Il/ elle is not followed by a verb (at this point, we will only be dealing with etre), it becomes LUI  Richard and lui (Richard and him)

11.  Nous stays the same  Vous stays the same

12. Ils/ Elles  In english, we do not say « I and they »  It is « I and them »  In French, we use eux instead of ils or elles  « Je et eux »

13. Write these out  Richard and I  Joe and you  They(le) and him  You (pl) and her  Me and they (le)  You and they (la)
