Big idea: Object pronouns (and where they go): With negation

In French, object pronouns often come before the verb — even in negatives.

With negation

Negation wraps around the verb (and the pronoun stays with the verb).

  • Je ne le vois pas. = I don't see him/it.
  • Je ne la connais pas. = I don't know her/it.
Je ne le vois pas.
I don't see him/it.
Je ne la connais pas.
I don't know her/it.
