What this grammar point covers
Stressed pronouns (pronoms toniques) are special pronouns in French used to emphasize a person or to clarify who you are talking about. They are different from subject pronouns.
When to use it
Use pronoms toniques in French to add emphasis, after prepositions (like 'avec', 'pour'), in short answers, or to show contrast (for example, 'Me, I like...').
Key forms
- moi
- toi
- lui
- elle
- nous
- vous
- eux
- elles

Tips
- Do not use pronoms toniques as the subject of a sentence; use them for emphasis or after prepositions.
- Remember that 'lui' is used for 'him' and 'elle' for 'her'.
- After 'avec', 'pour', 'chez', always use a pronom tonique.
