Direct and Indirect Pronouns

Indirect object pronouns are the words that replace the indirect object, and in French they can only refer to a person or other animate noun.(1) The French indirect object pronouns are

   me / m'   me
   te / t'   you
   lui   him, her
   nous   us
   vous   you
   leur   them
I'm talking to him: Je lui parle.
I'm giving the bread to you: Je vous donne le pain.

Like indirect object pronouns, French direct object pronouns are placed in front of the verb.
  me / m'   me
   te / t'   you
   le / l'   him, it
   la / l'   her, it
   nous   us
   vous   you
   les   them

I'm eating it: Je le mange.
I love you: Je t'aime.
