Key learning points
- Use possessive adjectives with nouns to say who things belong to.
- When there is an '-s' or '-n' at the end of a possessive, and a vowel follows, liaison occurs.
- Direct object pronouns are: 'me', 'te', 'le', 'la', 'l'', 'nous', 'vous', 'les'. They go before the verb.
- Indirect object pronouns are: 'me', 'te', 'lui', 'nous', 'vous', 'leur'. They go before the verb.
Words to know
- possessive adjective
- a word that goes before a noun to show ownership or belonging
- direct object pronoun
- replaces the noun receiving the action of the verb, e.g., 'me', 'you', 'it', 'them'
- indirect object pronoun
- replaces the person, people or thing(s) that the verb action is done to, when the action is 'to me', 'for you', 'to them'
Common mistakes
'Nous' always means 'we'.
'Nous' means 'we' when used as a subject pronoun, but it means 'us' when used as a direct object pronoun and '(to) us' when used as an indirect object pronoun.
For parents, carers and teachers
- Monet's garden and Argenteuil are mentioned in the slide deck. Teachers may wish to exploit this further by showing images of Monet's garden at Giverny, to give further context to the material.
