There are 75 cards to practice using French direct and indirect object pronouns in three different tenses. These practice cards focus on using: LE - LA - LES - LUI - LEUR. These practice cards will help students better understand when to use LE or LA to mean HIM or HER instead of LUI, and LES to mean THEM instead of LEUR. Each card indicates a subject pronoun, verb in the infinitive form, and another word or words to complete the sentence. Students first form a sentence using the elements provided, then they restate the sentence using either LUI - LEUR - LE - LA - LES - Y - EN. A four page answer key is provided. I recommend printing them on the front and back side of two sheets of paper so that you can easily distribute them to students for them to check their own work. This is an activity that students can work on alone or in pairs or small groups. My students really like to do this activity with a partner. One student says the sentence without the pronoun, then the other one says it with the pronoun. They take turns going back and forth. EXAMPLES: PRÉSENT - JE - ALLER - LA FAC Je vais à la fac. J’y vais. PASSÉ COMPOSÉ - TU - FAIRE - DU PIANO Tu as fait du piano. Tu en as fait. FUTUR PROCHE - ON - PARLER - DE NOËL On va parler de Noël. On va en parler.
