The correct answer is "Il t'adore." In French, the direct object pronoun "te" is used to represent the second person singular "you." When followed by a verb starting with a vowel or a silent "h," the pronoun "te" is contracted to "t'." Therefore, "Il t'adore" translates to "He loves you."Rate this question:

The words "me, les, te, le, la" can all replace the direct object in a sentence. "Me" is used when the direct object is the first person singular (I, me), "les" is used when the direct object is the third person plural (them), "te" is used when the direct object is the second person singular (you), and "le" and "la" are used when the direct object is the third person singular (him, her, it).Rate this question:

- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
The given statement is true because in French, when the words "me," "le," and "te" are followed by a vowel or silent "h," they contract and become "m'," "t'," and "l'." This contraction is used to improve the flow of speech and avoid awkward pronunciation. For example, "me aime" becomes "m'aime," "le enfant" becomes "l'enfant," and "te aimer" becomes "t'aimer." Therefore, the statement is correct.Rate this question:

In French, the indirect object pronoun "vous" is used to indicate the plural "you" as the recipient of the action. The verb "donne" means "give," and "le pain" means "the bread." Therefore, the sentence correctly expresses the action of giving the bread to the plural "you."Rate this question:
