Pronouns in French can get rather complicated, especially when incorporating many in one sentence. Memorize the order presented in the table below and your difficulties will cease to exist. Note that you will rarely, if ever, have a sentence that contains one of everything in the following list. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\n

En<\/b><\/h4>\n<\/td>\n

This ordering is commonly referred to as the \u201cDonkey Law\u201d. Remembering what sound a donkey makes helps students to remember the order of y and en. <\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\n

Auxiliary Verb <\/b><\/h4>\n

\n

<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\n

Conjugated Verb \u00a0<\/b><\/h4>\n<\/td>\n

<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

<\/h4>\n

Examples:<\/b><\/h4>\n

Il en veut. (He wants some.)<\/span><\/p>\n

Nous y pensons . (We are thinking about it.)<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sentences with Two Verbs:<\/b><\/h4>\n

Regarding sentences with two verbs, typically the negation ( ne \u2026 pas) \u00a0goes around the first verb (the conjugated one) and the pronouns (excluding the subject pronoun of course) go between the two verbs. Remember that the second verb will likely be an infinitive.<\/span><\/p>\n

There are however, \u00a0exceptions to these general rules. Notice that the fifth example above includes two verbs, but the personal pronoun proceeds both.<\/span><\/p>\n

Examples:<\/b><\/h4>\n

Je ne veux pas le lui donner. (I do not want to give it to him.)<\/span><\/p>\n

Tu peux leur y parler. (You can talk to them there.)<\/span><\/p>\n

Nous voudrions y penser. (We would like to think about it.)<\/span><\/p>\n
