Product description

From the author

This French Double Object / Adverbial Pronouns worksheet is a great supplement to your textbook's exercises. Students rewrite sentences replacing words in parentheses with pronouns (le / la / les / lui / leur / y / en). Sentences are in the present, passé composé, futur proche, futur simple, and imperative tenses. Some are negative, and some are affirmative.

Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

  • Replace direct and indirect object nouns with the correct double pronouns (le/la/les/lui/leur) in a French sentence.

  • Use the pronouns y and en correctly for prepositional and partitive phrases.

  • Maintain the sentence's original tense -- présent, passé composé, futur proche, futur simple, or impératif -- while substituting pronouns.

Teaching tips

  • Point out the usage note on item 15 in the solutions page -- past-participle agreement is skipped there because "m'" functions as an indirect object, a common trap for students.

  • Assign the présent, passé composé, futur proche, futur simple, and impératif sentences separately if introducing double pronouns tense by tense rather than all at once.

  • Use the solutions page for self-checking or independent fast-finisher practice, since every one of the 20 sentences is fully worked.

Skills covered

  • Double object pronoun substitution -- students replace two noun phrases (e.g., "sa voiture" and "à son ami") with the correct paired pronouns, such as "la lui."

  • Adverbial pronoun use (y/en) -- students substitute prepositional and partitive phrases like "à l'école" and "des biscuits" with y and en.

  • Imperative pronoun placement -- students order pronouns correctly in commands, both affirmative ("Offre-les-lui") and negative ("Ne leur téléphonez pas").

Good to know

Questions teachers ask about this resource

Does the solutions page just give final answers, or explain the trickier ones?

Both -- most items list only the rewritten sentence, but item 15 adds a short note explaining why past-participle agreement is skipped, since "m'" functions as an indirect object rather than a direct one.
