Les pronoms disjoints

Stressed pronouns are used as objects of prepositions or to clarify or emphasize. They are only used for people.

Note: lui(-meme) is not the same as soi(-meme). Soi = tout le monde, on. Lui= him, lui-meme= himself.

Uses

As objects of prepositions:

As part of compound subjects:

With subject pronouns, to emphasize the subject. English sometimes indicates this emphasis with intonation alone, by stressing the pronoun when speaking.

After ce+être

In sentences without verbs, for example one-word answers to questions.

With même, for emphasis.

After the comparatif.
