Je vois la rouge voiture.
- A.
Je la vois.
- B.
J'y vois.
- C.
Je leur vois.
Correct Answer
A. Je la vois.Explanation
The correct answer is "Je la vois." This is because the pronoun "la" is used to replace the direct object "la rouge voiture" (the red car) in the sentence. "La" agrees in gender and number with the noun it replaces, and in this case, it represents a singular feminine noun. Therefore, "Je la vois" means "I see it" in English, where "it" refers to the red car.Rate this question:

Il me donne la carte postale.
- A.
Il me la donne.
- B.
Il la me donne.
- C.
Il me lui donne.
Correct Answer
A. Il me la donne.Explanation
The correct answer is "Il me la donne." In French, when a direct object is a noun phrase, it can be replaced with a direct object pronoun. In this sentence, "la carte postale" is the direct object, so it can be replaced with the pronoun "la". "Me" is used to indicate that the direct object is being given to the speaker. Therefore, the correct sentence is "Il me la donne."Rate this question:
