Language/French/Grammar/Position-of-direct-and-indirect-object-pronouns
Direct and indirect object pronouns are closely linked with the verb to which they are most closely related in declarative, negative and interrogative sentences.
When the verb is a main verb they appear immediately before it:
Tab1
When the verb is accompanied by the auxiliary verbs avoir or être, direct and
indirect object pronouns appear immediately before the auxiliary:
tab2
- Il leur a raconté beaucoup d'histoires passionnantes
He told them a lot of fascinating stories
- Nous l'avons déjà traduite, cette lettre
We have already translated this letter
NB: The past participle agrees with a preceding direct object in these cases, but not with the indirect object.
Note also that pronouns ending in -e (me, te, se, le) and -a (la) are shortened to the consonant alone before verbs beginning with a vowel: elle m'aide, je t'ai déjà remercié, je te l'ai dit, etc.
