5. Direct Objects
Direct objects are the people or things in a sentence which receive the action of the verb. To find the direct object in a sentence, ask the question Who? or What?    I see Pierre.    Je vois Pierre.    Who do I see? Pierre.    I'm eating the bread    Je mange le pain.    What am I eating? - Bread.

6. Direct object pronouns are the words that replace the direct object, so that we don't say things like "Marie was at the bank today. When I saw Marie I smiled." It's much more natural to say "Marie was at the bank today. When I saw her I smiled." The French direct object pronouns are    me / m'   me    te / t'   you    le / l'   him, it    la / l'   her, it    nous   us    vous   you    les   them Me and te change to m' and t', respectively, in front of a vowel or mute H. Le and la both change to l'.

7. I'm taking it. Je le prends. He wants to see her. Il veut la voir
I'm taking it.  Je le prends.    He wants to see her.    Il veut la voir.    I love you.    Je t'aime.    
****Note
1. When a direct object precedes a verb conjugated into a compound tense such as the passé composé, the past participle has to agree with the direct object.
- J’ai vu la fille. Je l’ai vue.

8. Remember REPLACE AND PLACE
Lets practice replacing direct objects with d.o. pronouns:
Vous montrer la lettre. Vous __________________________________
Suzie n’emprunte pas les notes de sa copine. __________________________________________________________
Mon amie adore les bonbons. _________________________________
Ils ont prêté la voiture à leur fils. ________________________________
Nous avons donné le cadeau à mon père. __________________________________________________________
Vous envoyez le paquet en France. ______________________________
On sortons le cahier du sac. ___________________________________
Je vais dire la vérité à ma mère. ________________________________

9. L’OBJET INDIRECT (IO) LUI (to him, to her)
LEUR ( to them)
-Is always a person and is usually interrupted by a preposition such as “à”
-It is the indirect receiver of the action ……………..action is done “to someone”
“ at someone”
etc.
Ex. Nous parlons à ta copine Nous lui parlons.
Tu as donné un cadeau à ta mère? Non je ne lui ai pas donné un cadeau.
Tu vas rendre visite à ton voisin? Oui, je vais lui rendre visite.
Say the following using the direct object: I am speaking to her.
I spoke to her.
I’m going to speak to her.
