Key ConceptUne Invitation
You will want to ask people if they would like to do things with you. We use the stress pronouns following a preposition. Most of them are not difficult to learn but some are quite different than the personal pronouns. Do you remember the personal pronouns? Here they are. Let's review them.

Je Nous
Tu Vous
Il
Elle
On
Ils
Elles

The stress pronouns are, for the most part, different as you are about to see. These pronouns stress who the subject is, which is why they are known as stress pronouns (or prepositional pronouns). They correspond to the personal pronouns.

Moi Nous
Toi Vous
Lui (masculine)
Elle (feminine)
Eux (masculine)
Elles (feminine)

So, following any preposition, you need one of these pronouns instead of a subject pronoun.

avec moi (with me)

avec toi (with you)

Avec is the prepostion that means with. See if you can say "with + the following people." Write these expressions down and then click on the English expression to see the correct response in French.

with him
with her
with us
with me
with you (familiar)
with you all
with them (masc)

Let's say that we wanted to say that we are doing things "for" the other person instead of with. We would use "pour" (for).

for him
for her
for us
for me
for you (familiar)
for you all
for them (masc)

You can use these after any preposition (pour, de, avec, chez, à ).
