Double object pronouns: il me le donne

The order when two pronouns meet before the verb.

When a sentence has two object pronouns before the verb, they follow this order:

12345
me, te, se, nous, vousle, la, leslui, leuryen
  • Il me le donne.
    He gives it to me.
  • Je te la présente.
    I'll introduce her to you.
  • Je le lui ai dit.
    I told him / her (it).
  • Elle nous en a parlé.
    She told us about it.
  • Il y en a trois.
    There are three (of them).

In positive commands

Pronouns follow the verb, with the direct object first, and me/te become moi/toi, just like English:

  • Donne-le-moi !
    Give it to me!
  • Envoyez-la-leur.
    Send it to them.
  • Ne me le dis pas.
    Don't tell me (it).
