Select all of the DIRECT object pronouns:
Correct Answer(s)
A. Me
E. Le
F. Nous
G. Vous
H. La
I. Les
Explanation
The correct answer includes the direct object pronouns "me," "le," "nous," "vous," "la," and "les." These pronouns are used to replace the direct object in a sentence, which is the noun or pronoun that receives the action of the verb directly. "Me" is used for the first person singular, "le" is used for the third person singular masculine, "nous" is used for the first person plural, "vous" is used for the second person singular or plural, "la" is used for the third person singular feminine, and "les" is used for the third person plural.
2.
Select all of the INDIRECT object pronouns:
Correct Answer(s)
D. Me
E. Te
G. Lui
H. Leur
I. Nous
J. Vous
Explanation
The correct answer includes the indirect object pronouns "me", "te", "lui", "leur", "nous", and "vous". These pronouns are used to indicate to whom or for whom an action is being done. "Le", "la", and "les" are direct object pronouns, not indirect object pronouns, as they are used to replace the direct object of a sentence.
3.
Select the REFLEXIVE PRONOUNS:
Correct Answer(s)
A. Me
B. Te
C. Nous
D. Vous
E. Se
Explanation
The correct answer includes the reflexive pronouns "me, te, nous, vous, se." Reflexive pronouns are used when the subject and the object of a sentence refer to the same person or thing. In this case, all the pronouns listed can be used reflexively. "Me" and "te" refer to the first and second person singular (I, you), "nous" and "vous" refer to the first and second person plural (we, you), and "se" is the third person singular and plural reflexive pronoun (himself, herself, themselves). "Lui" and "leur" are not reflexive pronouns but rather indirect object pronouns meaning "to him/her" and "to them" respectively.

The French word "à" signals the use of an Indirect Object.
Correct Answer
A. True
Explanation
The French word "à " is commonly used to introduce an indirect object in a sentence. It indicates that the action of the verb is directed towards someone or something other than the direct object. This can be seen in sentences like "Je parle à ma mère" (I speak to my mother) or "Il donne un cadeau à son ami" (He gives a gift to his friend). Therefore, the statement is true.

Remplacez les blancs:Je donne la lettre à ma soeur.Je ________ donne la lettre.
Correct Answer
B. Lui
Explanation
In this sentence, "Je donne la lettre à ma soeur", the pronoun "lui" is used to replace the indirect object "à ma soeur". "Lui" is the correct pronoun to use because it refers to a person (ma soeur) and indicates that the action of giving is directed towards her.
7.
Nous parlons aux professeurs.Nous ____________ parlons
Correct Answer
B. Leur
Explanation
The correct answer is "leur". In the given sentence, "Nous parlons aux professeurs" means "We speak to the professors". The word "leur" is the correct form of the pronoun "their" in French, which is used to indicate possession by multiple people. Therefore, the sentence should be "Nous leur parlons" meaning "We speak to them (their professors)".
8.
Répondez:Tu dis la vérité à ta mère?
Correct Answer
A. Je lui dis la vérité.
Explanation
The correct answer is "Je lui dis la vérité." In French, the pronoun "lui" is used to indicate the indirect object, which in this case is the mother. The verb "dire" means "to say" and it agrees with the indirect object pronoun "lui." Therefore, the correct sentence structure is "Je lui dis" which translates to "I say to her." The phrase "la vérité" means "the truth." So, the complete sentence translates to "I tell her the truth."
9.
Fill in the blank below to answer the following question:Tu parles souvent à tes amis?Je ________ parle souvent.
Correct Answer
leur
Explanation
In the given question, "Tu parles souvent à tes amis?", the speaker is asking if the person often talks to their friends. In response, the speaker says "Je leur parle souvent", which means "I often talk to them". The word "leur" is used here to refer to the friends, indicating that the speaker has regular conversations with them.
10.
J'ai dit bonjour à mon ami!Je ______ ai dit bonjour!
Correct Answer
lui
Explanation
In French, the pronoun "lui" is used to refer to a singular masculine or feminine person. In this sentence, "lui" is used to indicate that the speaker said hello to their friend. It is the correct pronoun choice because it agrees with the gender of the friend and serves as the indirect object of the verb "ai dit" (said).
11.
True or false?Me, te, le, la, and se all use an apostrophe if the next word starts with a vowel.
Correct Answer
A. True
Explanation
The statement is true. In Spanish, the pronouns "me, te, le, la, and se" use an apostrophe when the next word starts with a vowel. This is done to avoid the clash of vowel sounds and make the sentence flow more smoothly. For example, instead of saying "me gusta el agua," it is written as "me gusta el agua" with an apostrophe before the word "agua." This rule applies to all sentences where these pronouns are followed by a word starting with a vowel.
