Les pronoms personnels remplacent un nom pour désigner une personne ou une chose.

(Personal pronouns replace a noun to refer to a person or a thing.)

  1. Pronouns reflect the gender (masculine or feminine) and the number (singular or plural) of the subject.
  2. "Tu" is used in an informal situation.
  3. "Vous" is used to speak to multiple people or in a formal situation to show respect to a single person (politeness).

Exceptions!

  1. The pronoun "on" can be used in speech to replace "nous" or impersonally, to talk about people in general: "On mange à midi."
