Please be patient

Our volunteers look into many questions every day; sometimes it takes them a little while to answer.

Pro tip: you can rename the thread title with `.tr <thread name>`

Make it descriptive, including relevant context, but also to the point. This way you improve your chances of getting a more relevant and specific answer.

...mais ils me distraient smallcorrection
Here, you're the direct object and "les réseaux sociaux" is the subject. You only write « me » before the verb because it's the only object here.

So i am the dop? When would i use les - i dont understand why i cant say les instead of ils because if i am saying ‘it’ distracts me. Sorry im just really confused

Direct object pronoun

#

Thats what we learnt

#

Like that theres dops and indops (indirect object pronouns) like when u say je lui parle

vestal zodiac
#

A situation where you would use « les » is in the first sentence.

« J'aime les réseaux sociaux. »
Here, the underlined part "les réseaux sociaux", is the direct object of the verb "aime". So, to replace it, you'd use « les » and say « Je les aime. »

Do you know all of the direct object pronouns?

Like theres me te le/la nous vous les

Yup, those are the direct object pronouns.

# versed blaze Oh wait i know that i just was asking if i could have two?

You can't have two object pronouns of the same type in a sentence.

For example, in the sentence « J'explique la lécon à Marc », the object pronouns you'd use are...

  • « la » for "la léçon" (direct object)
  • « lui » for "à Marc" (indirect object)

This gives you the sentence « Je la lui explique. »
As you can see, the two object pronouns are not of the same type.

#

Object pronouns are much more complicated in French than in English... 😅

Also is engager and connecter reflexive?

Can i say vous devriez s’engager dans un communaute que aide les pouvres.

# versed blaze Can i say vous devriez s’engager dans un communaute que aide les pouvres.

In this sentence, the verb s'engager is reflexive. However, you need to use the correct reflexive pronoun that corresponds to subject of the sentence; in other words, since you used the subject « vous » at the start of the sentence, you have to also use « vous » instead of « se » for the reflexive verb also.
So, you must say « Vous devriez vous engager dans... ».

#

Also, there are some spelling mistakes in your sentence...

#

"ils me distraient" is correct but it's also possible in this case to say "Ça me distrait"

versed blaze
#

Vous devriez vous engagez dans un communaute pour aider les peuvres.

les p__a__uvres smallcorrection

#

engager smallcorrection

#

The verb still stays in the infinitive.
You just need to write the correct reflexive pronoun.

#

You conjugate for example je me sens bien - why dont u conjugate engager

#

Sorry for asking so many questions 💀

vestal zodiac
#

In French, when you have a conjugated verb followed by a second verb, that second verb stays in the infinitive.
You can see this in sentences like...

  • Il aime nager. ("He likes to swim.")
  • Je veux partir. ("I want to swim.")
    The first verb is conjugated, but the second remains in the infinitive.
#

You can also see that this rule applies in English as well.

Exactly.

#

Ces can only be used before a noun (ces réseaux sociaux: these social networks)

Ça is a sort of "default" 3rd person pronoun that can be used to refer to pretty much anything, including plural nouns, though it can't be used everywhere either.

versed blaze
#

Oh ok - but when u use ça you use distrait because u are sayinf ‘it’ not ‘they’

#

Like in ils me distraient

#

Wait can u give me something to translate or ask me questions abt social media and what unites and divides us or like about well being or mental health pls 🙏🙏
