Please be patient

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

i think look out for examples and refer to this chart to see if it's mandatory or not

I don't use French at work or anything, so I think the only French I'll be speaking will be either online or maybe some local language-clubs. Casual conversations.

So which of the above rules apply to a case like "vous avouer" in the phrase "Moi, je dois vous avouer que j’en ai un peu marre d’entendre ce genre de conseils." It's from the InnerFrench podcast episode titled Apprendre le français en 2025. He does the liaison.
I was trying to see which rule applied, but couldn't find one.

Most liasons can be learned through immersion, you don't really need to learn the rules

ok

dusky drift
#

i would've done the liason but i didn't know if it was mandatory or not without looking at the sheet

#

object pronoun? But the 2nd word is a verb?

#

I'm reading the chart wrong I guess

#

Ok, so if it's a pronoun that has the grammatical role of object you always do the liaison

dusky drift
#

vous is the object pronoun in this case

#

you're right, my brain was not recognizing a and ai as verbs
And also I thought it meant a pronoun followed by a subject or something, bc the elle nous confused me

#

and the je les

dusky drift
#

je les ai vu = i saw them, them/les being the object

#

elle nous a invité = she invited us, nous/us is the object

#

Yeah. What I was trying to say is that when it said object pronoun, I didn't think it was referring to one word, but two, the object then the pronoun, and looking at the examples it seemed plausible.

#

but I get it now

#

I think

#

Thanks

Yeah it's only about object pronoun + verb
