Le lui or lui le in French sentences - What's the rule? - French grammar simplified

Speak French with Confidence with my 4-step methodology: bit.ly/3qMPU7L
Is your head spinning from all the possible combinations of French object pronouns in French sentences? Is it le lui or lui le in French sentences? Is there a rule to help us decide?
I love to simplify French grammar into plain English so you can start making sentences with confidence knowing that you have the logic down. Happy to be back today to do just that.
It's important to break down French grammar into smaller chunks, working on them, practise it in writing and speaking, before moving onto the next thing.
Today we're talking about the order of object pronouns in French sentences.

    Once I wanted to say "No, I didn't wash them" referring to my hands. I didn't know how to do it. Later found out it was "Non, je ne me les suis pas lavées", or you can drop words and vowels to be more casual. "J'n me" - "Je me"; or even "J'm" = "Non, J'm les suis pas lavées".

    Bravo ! Numéro 1: parfait. Numéro 2: is incorrect because the structure of partir is partir de quelque part. Je pars de ma maison. so, grammatically it would be J'en pars. However, to my knowledge, no one says that. They'd just say "Je pars" or "Je pars de la maison".

I would suggest one thing in order to improve them, though: add "quantity" as another piece of the puzzle, because that's very useful too. It goes at the very end in all three cases, be it precise, like "cinq" or imprecise, like "assez"!

I think it can actually be reduced to just 2 categories - pronouns always go in front of the first verb except when there is an infinitive then they go in front of the infinitive. But it is actually mentally helpful to think about it in the 3 categories to separate out all the tenses other than the simple present!

    Thanks, this really helps clarify the COD and COI order confusion for me. Just to confirm, Sometimes the COD comes directly after the subject and sometimes the COI comes directly after, as in the following examples: -Je le lui ai donné(I gave it to him) -Je vous L’ai donné (I gave it to you) Can we say that There is no hard rule that either the COD or the COI comes after the subject, it depends on which COD is used? I’m guessing it’s safe to say that when the COD is “vous”or “to”, then it comes directly after the subject but in the case of “lui” being the COD it has to after the COI? This seems to correspond to your chart, I’m sorry this sounds so convoluted. Describing technical grammar always makes my head spin. Does this make sense? If so, is it correct?

    When you use the passé composé you must think of the auxiliary and the main verb as one. Yes, avoir is a verb but in a compound tense (one with auxiliary and main verb) both parts form one, grammatically speaking. So in your case you need to know which verb introduces the object. Here it's donner so the pronoun(s) goes before donner. With that information, try and make the sentence :)

    Un or mon cadeau. You're doing fine. it's almost impossible to not talk shop, well grammar/syntax at some point. With any luck and some work, you will feel things; you felt that something wasn't right in your sentence. That's very good. Le cadeau would point a known element. Remember Un/le from your beginnings; you know that. you're stretching your wings but doubting yourself. That's good. Make mistakes. Don't listen to the voice asking to slow things down. trust your gut. there are morons everywhere, but plenty of good people and thay'll sort things out. Give your best.

    Merci beaucoup Alex. Really helped me out. Doubt: if you have to answer this question (by saying yes) but by replacing the nouns with pronouns, "Est-ce que Robert a rencontre cette jolie fille au bal?" , will it be "Oui, il lui y a rencontree." or "Oui, il l'a rencontree cette jolie fille au bal."? (I don't really understand the second one because we are not replacing anything with the L' but my teacher said that it was the correct answer so...)

  • @FrenchinPlainSight

    @FrenchinPlainSight

    3 жыл бұрын

    Hello. The second one is correct because the verb rencontrer doesn't take a preposition to introduce its object. The girl is the object (only grammatically speaking). Rencontrer quelqu'un. Therefore, quelqu'un is a direct object. Direct objects are replaced by direct object pronouns. In this case : la (l'). Have you seen my video about this? kzread.info/dash/bejne/qoWly9l-dc7Sm84.html Hope this helps!

  • @FrenchinPlainSight

    Hello Eileen. Merci pour ton commentaire! For that sentence, the presence of "me" tells us that we're using the reflexive form of the ver "dire" which is "se dire". In the present tense it's conjugated as "je me dis, tu te dis, il se dit" etc. For all reflexive verbs, when putting them in a compound tense such as the plus-que-parfait, the auxiliary verb is always Être and not Avoir. Je t'avais dit but Je m'étais dit. Je t'ai dit (passé composé) but je me suis dit. After a while it becomes automatic, but just remember that rule in the future :). For the free download, it's in the description. Sometimes you need to click "Read more" to get the full description to appear.

Beaucoup d'erreurs mais rien de grave . ta logique est bonne et tes oreilles bien ouvertes. (Il m'a expliqué) tu manipules des choses pas simples sans avoir l'entrainement nécessaire. Ton orthographe dit beaucoup. Tu écris mal mais penses bien. Parfait. Comme tu dis, il faut travailler, s'exercer. va voir sur le site de la francophonie. FLE = Français langue étrangère. Même si tu t'arrêtais aujourd'hui, avec netflix tu peux rester dans le bain voire progresser. Faut regarder en français avec les sous-titres en français, ou sans sous-titres. ils sont là si tu en as besoin. Parfois décevants. Essaie encore.

    what is different between dire and se dire?

  • @FrenchinPlainSight

    @FrenchinPlainSight

    Жыл бұрын

    In fact, not much: dire à quelqu'un. To say to someone. se dire = to say to oneself. Je te dis un truc = I tell you something Je me dis un truc = I tell myself something. Se dire more commonly means "to think (to oneself)/to say to onself". "Hier je me disais que ça faisait longtemps que je n'avais pas vu Sophie." = "Yesterday, I was thinking that it had been a long time since I'd seen Sophie" When comparing verbs, i recommend putting them into Reverso's Context translator to see lots of examples in context.

Perhaps the next one could be the order when you are dealing with a negation in the passé composé with a reflexive verb for good measure! Questions please: I assume that the placement of the pronoun in the Future Proche is the same as when there are two verbs in present tense?

    Haha. It's a topic that will stay with you for a while, for sure. Once you start saying the most common combinations you can start to forget the rule a bit. It'll surprise you. Yes, futur proche has two independent verbs so the pronouns go between them - directly before the main verb.

"Je vais vous le donner". Then, if you want to emphasise the different parties, you add it after: "Je vais vous le donner.

    A related topic is the order of pronouns in affirmative and negative commands. The order is the same as in the charts you give. Parle-m'en. Same for the negative impératif: Ne m'en parle pas, or more likely, m'en parle pas! The negative command is simply the negative present tense without the subject pronoun. Pensez-y.
