subject + object pronoun + verb
How it works
Replace repeated nouns with le, la, or les before the verb. This pattern typically appears as subject + object pronoun + verb and becomes easier when you meet it again in short, readable examples.
What to notice
- The pronoun usually comes before the conjugated verb.
- Its form depends on the object being replaced.
Why it matters
Reduce repetition and keep the sentence moving.
Use in context
French pronouns feel tricky because they move before the verb, so a focused page helps a lot.
