1 | I | je | me | me | moi |
2 | you | tu | te | te | toi |
3 | he | il | le | lui | lui |
she | elle | la | lui | elle | |
plural | |||||
1 | we | nous | nous | nous | nous |
2 | you | vous | vous | vous | vous |
3 | they | ils | les | leur | eux |

Unstressed pronouns come before the verb. The form of the subject corresponds to the German nominative (who? what?), the form of the direct object - the German accusative (whom? what? I see), the form of the indirect object - the German dative (to whom? to what ? I give something). Examples:
Je te vois. I can see you.
Te le donne. I give it to you.
Ils le lui donnent. They give it to her.
