Stressed pronouns used as the object of a preposition
Stressed pronouns are the forms to use after all prepositions other than à:
- Je suis venu malgré lui I came in spite of him
- J'ai agi comme elle
I acted as she did
- Ne le dites pas devant eux
Don't say it in front of them
- Elle s'est assise à côté de moi
She sat down next to me
- Je n'ai rien contre elles
I have nothing against them
Phrases introduced by de are normally pronominalized using en, but, when humans are referred to, de followed by a stressed pronoun is more usual:
- Ma mère avait parlé de lui
My mother had spoken of him
