Direct or indirect object?

Spot direct vs. indirect objects by replacing them with a French pronoun.

The verb is underlined, the group to analyse is highlighted. Test both pronouns: 'le/la/les' then 'lui/leur'. The one that stays grammatical gives you the answer.

  • Step 1: read the sentence and spot the highlighted group.
  • Step 2: try the sentence with 'le/la/les', then with 'lui/leur'.
  • Step 3: conclude - direct object if 'le' works, indirect if 'lui' works.
