    them [ðem, ðəm]
    ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
    ► When translating them it is necessary to know whether the French verb takes a direct or an indirect object. Verbs followed by à or de take an indirect object.
    ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
       a. (direct object: people and things) les
    ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
    ► les precedes the verb, except in positive commands.
    ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
    • look at them! regarde-les !
    ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
    ► When the French verb consists of avoir + past participle, les precedes the form of avoir. The participle always agrees, adding s for mpl, and es for fpl.
    ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
    • have you seen my keys? I've lost them avez-vous vu mes clés ? je les ai perdues
       b. (indirect object: people) leur
    • what are you going to say to them? qu'est-ce que tu vas leur dire ?
    ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
    ► leur precedes the verb, except in positive commands.
    ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
    ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
    ► When leur translates them in past tenses, (e)s is not added to the past participle.
    ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
       c. (indirect object: things)
    ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
    ► When them refers to things, en is used when the pronoun replaces de + noun.
    ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
    • can you give me my notes back? I need them est-ce que tu peux me rendre mes notes ? j'en ai besoin
    • make sure you admire his pictures, he's very proud of them n'oublie pas d'admirer ses tableaux, il en est très fier
       d. (emphatic) eux m, elles f
    • I knew it was them! je savais que c'était eux !
    • I know her but I don't know them je la connais, mais eux (or elles), je ne les connais pas
       e. ► preposition + them
    • my parents? I was just thinking about them mes parents ? je pensais justement à eux
    • the passports? I've not thought about them les passeports ? je n'y ai pas pensé
    ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
    ► When them refers to one person, le is used for a direct and lui for an indirect object.
    ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
    • if anyone arrives early ask them to wait si quelqu'un arrive tôt, fais-le attendre
    • somebody rang -- did you ask them their name? quelqu'un a téléphoné -- est-ce que tu lui as demandé son nom ?
