Complément d'objet direct (COD)

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?

      Je vois Pierre.   Who do I see? - Pierre.

     Je mange le pain.   What am I eating? - Bread.

“Subjects do the action, Objects receive the action”

WHAT ARE PRONOUNS?

• These are the replacement words we use instead of naming things - “I see Jane” becomes “I see her”, “We eat cake” becomes “We eat it”

• In English pronouns come after the verb - They read the books/ They read them

In French, pronouns come BEFORE the verb

WHERE should I put them?

3. Don’t forget to get rid of the noun that you replaced with the pronoun!

ATTENTION !• With direct object pronouns you

usually make the end of the verb in the past tense agree

je les ai vues

• With indirect object pronouns you do not need to worry
