Question

In French, respond to the following using an indirect object

pronoun:
❏ Charles a entendu sa mère ?
❏ Explain the location of the indirect object in your
response and how this impacts the verb.

Answer 1

Bonjour !

- Charles a entendu sa mère ?

- Oui, Charles l'a entendue.

Answer 2

Bonjour

respond to the question using a DIRECT object pronoun

Charles a entendu sa mère ?

Oui, Charles l'a entendue.

OR

Non, Charles ne l'a pas entendue.

-

The direct object pronoun is l'

It replaces the direct object : "sa mère" => feminine singular noun

fem. sing. pronoun = "la"

"la" changes in l' because the following noun begins with a vowel.(is a vowel = a)

The past participle with "avoir" agrees with the direct object ONLY if this direct object is before the verb.

Charles a entendu sa mère. (the direct object "sa mère" is after the verb.

Charles l'a entendue. (The direct object (pronoun l') is before the verb ► the past participle agrees)
