Subject pronouns replace nouns as the subject of clauses or sentences, as in:
Les enfants chantent > Ils chantentLa dame s'appelle Mme. Dupont > Elle s'appelle Mme Dupont.
Position of the direct object pronoun. When the direct object of a clause is a pronoun, it precedes the verb (including the auxiliary/ies), but does not precede modal auxiliaries. (When the direct object is a noun, it follows the verb).
Examples:
That car is following us.
- Cette voiture nous suit.
I've put them back in the kitchen.
Je les ai remis dans la cuisine. (verb form with auxiliary - avoir)
I wanted to see them before they left.
Je voulais les voir avant leur départ. (verb form with modal auxiliary - vouloir)
