Lesson Details
Key learning points
- Use me and te before the verb when 'me' or 'you' is the object of the verb: elle me trouve (she finds me).
- Use me and te when 'me' or 'you' is indirectly receiving the action of the verb: elle me donne un cadeau (gives to me).
- Me and te are used frequently in dialogue between two people.
Common misconception
In French, 'to you' is translated literally from English e.g. I say to you 'je dis à toi'.
In French indirect object pronouns to me and to you are translated by single words: 'me' and 'te'. They go before the verb, not at the end of the sentence.
Keywords
Indirect object pronoun - replaces the person or thing that the verb action is done to, when the action is 'to me' or 'for you'.
Me, (m') - me, to me
Te, (t') - you, to you
