    This French lesson document discusses Complément d'Objet Indirect (COI) and Indirect Object Pronouns (IOP). [1] A COI is usually preceded by the preposition "à" and answers the questions "à qui?" or "à quoi?". [2] An IOP is simply a COI expressed as a pronoun, like "him" or "her". [3] In French, the IOP must come before the verb, unlike in English.

    FRENCH LESSON

    COI + IOP
    WHAT IS A COI ?

    COI means Complément d'Objet Indirect. It is usually preceded by the preposition À. We


    found the COI by asking the question À QUOI or À QUI. The COI is usually placed after the
    COD and the verb, unless it is a pronoun, also called IOP - Indirect Object Pronoun (see next
    point).

    It usually follows this pattern :


    SUBJECT + VERB + COD + COI

    Il donne un cadeau à sa sœur - He gives a gift to his sister


    Il donne un cadeau à qui ? - Who does he give a gift to ?
    À sa sœur - His sister
    À sa sœur is the COI

    Elle lit un livre à son frère - She is reading a book to her brother
    Elle lit un livre à qui ? - Who is she reading a book to ?
    À son frère - Her brother
    À son frère is the COI

    WHAT IS A IOP ?

    IOP means Indirect Object Pronoun. It is simply the COI under the form of a pronoun.
    Let's see an example in English only :
    She is reading a book to her brother - She is reading him a book
    To her brother is the COI but can be turned into a pronoun which is him

    THE INDIRECT OBJECT PRONOUNS

    FRENCH ENGLISH
    Me / M' Me
    Te / T' You
    Lui Him / Her / It
    Nous Us
    Vous You
    Leur Them

    WHERE TO PLACE THE DOP ?

    In French, in contrary as in English, the IOP is always before the verb.

    She is reading a book to her brother - She is reading him a book


    Elle lit un livre à son frère - Elle lui lit un livre

    COI - IOP - Practice

    Il donne un cadeau à sa sœur - He gives a gift to his sister


    Il donne un cadeau à qui ? - Who does he give a gift to ?
    À sa sœur is the COI

    À sa sœur is the equivalent of HER = lui


    Il lui donne un cadeau

    Elle lit un livre à son frère - She is reading a book to her brother
    Elle lit un livre à qui ? - Who is she reading a book to ?
    À son frère is the COI

    À son frère is the equivalent of HIM = lui


    Elle lui lit un livre

    Elle pose une question à qui ? - Who is she is asking to ?

    Aux enfants is the equivalent of THEM = leur


    Elle leur pose une question

    Il me parle He is talking to me
    Il te parle He is talking to you
    Il lui parle He is talking to her
    Il lui parle He is talking to him
