I can review the whole module: compare two options and give a short answer with a pronoun — direct, indirect, y, or en — without mixing up “whom” and “to whom”.

What we review
What this module covered, in brief. There are no new rules here — just a summary before the exercises.
• Comparing two options: plus / moins / aussi + adjective or adverb + que; plus de / moins de / autant de + noun; bon → meilleur, bien → mieux, mauvais → pire.
• Not repeating the noun: me, you, us (and to me, to you, to us) — me, te, nous, vous; a direct object, with no preposition (him, her, it, them) — le, la, l', les; an object with à (to him, to her, to them) — lui, leur (no -s).
• All these pronouns go in the same place: before the verb, before the infinitive, inside ne … pas.
• Place and quantity: y is for a place (à la mairie → y), en for a thing and an amount (des brochures → en), and the number stays after the verb: j'en prends deux.
• Housing and rules: le loyer, les charges, le frigo, le lave-linge; il faut / il ne faut pas / il est interdit de + infinitive; en bas, en haut, là-bas, au bord de.
Module summary: you can now compare travel and housing options, answer briefly with a pronoun, and read a French apartment ad.
Which pronoun to choose
First ask a question about the object — it shows you which set to use.
| Question about the object | Pronoun | Example |
|---|---|---|
| (to) me? (to) you (informal)? (to) us? (to) you (plural or formal)? | me, te, nous, vous | Mes amis vous attendent à la gare. |
| whom? what? (no preposition) | le, la, l', les | Camille les cherche à l'accueil. |
| to whom? (à + a person) | lui, leur | Nous lui parlons le soir. |
| where to? where? (a place) | y | Julien y arrive à midi. |
| how much? how many? de + a thing | en | Sophie en prend un peu. |
