Subject pronouns take the place of a noun as the subject of a sentence. In French, there are nine subject pronouns and two ways of saying 'you'.

Direct object pronouns replace the noun that is the object of a sentence. French direct object pronouns include 'me', 'te', 'le/la' and 'vous'.

Emphatic pronouns include 'moi' (me) and 'toi' (you) and are often used after certain prepositions in French. They only apply to people, not things.

Indirect object pronouns replace nouns, to avoid repeating the noun two sentences in a row. An indirect object pronoun is used in the place of the indirect object of a verb.

French reflexive pronouns include 'me', 'te' and 'se'. The position of reflexive pronouns depends on the tense of the sentence and whether it is a positive or negative sentence.

Adverbial pronouns include words for 'it', 'them' and 'there'. 'Y' and 'en' are both adverbial pronouns in French.

Relative pronouns, like 'qui' and 'que', introduce relative clauses. A relative clause is a part of a sentence that cannot exist by itself.
