French Phrases: French pronouns
Subject Pronouns and common verb forms
Subject pronouns are the words like I, he in English that generally
represent the 'person doing the action' in a sentence. See below for other types
of pronoun.
Here are some common verb forms using these subject pronouns:
je suis | ʒə sɥi, ʃɥi | I am, I'm | tu es | tye | you are, you're | t'es (Informal) | te | you're | il est | ile | he is, he's | elle est | ɛle | she is, she's | c'est | se | it is, it's | nous sommes | nu sɔm | we are | vous êtes | vu zɛt | you are | ils sont | i(l)sõ | they are, they're (masculine) | elles sont | ɛlsõ | they are, they're (feminine) | Suggest a change / proposez une modification
Other types of pronoun
There are other pronouns that 'stand in for' a person or noun with functions other
than the subject of the sentence. For example, in English, words like he, I
can't be used in cases such as: with he, he saw I.
Instead, we use the pronouns him and me. Similarly, French has
object pronouns used in similar circumstances.
