Note that a direct object receives the action of a verb directly and an indirect object receives the action of a verb indirectly. While indirect objects are frequently preceded by the preposition à, no preposition is needed before the direct object. © and ® 2011 Vista Higher Learning, Inc. 7A.2-2 2
You can use a direct object pronoun in the place of a direct object noun. © and ® 2011 Vista Higher Learning, Inc. 7A.2-3 3
Place a direct object pronoun before the conjugated verb. © and ® 2011 Vista Higher Learning, Inc. 7A.2-4 4
In a negative statement, place the direct object pronoun between ne/n’ and the conjugated verb. When an infinitive follows a conjugated verb, the direct object pronoun precedes the infinitive. © and ® 2011 Vista Higher Learning, Inc. 7A.2-5 5
When a direct object pronoun is used with the passé composé, the past participle must agree with it in both gender and number. © and ® 2011 Vista Higher Learning, Inc. 7A.2-6 6
In questions using Quel(s)/Quelle(s) and the passé composé, the past participle must agree with the gender and number of Quel(s)/Quelle(s). © and ® 2011 Vista Higher Learning, Inc. 7A.2-7 7
