What is the direct object complement in French ?
The direct object complement (French: le complément d'object direct) is an element of the verbal group, not introduced by a preposition, which makes it possible to specify the object of an action performed. The COD allows to complete a verb.
The COD:
- Belongs to the verbal group
- Is an essential complement, it can not be deleted because the sentence would not make sense anymore.
- Is always preceded by a direct transitive verb.
- is the word that becomes subject when turning the sentence to the passive form
| Examples | Passive form | Translations |
|---|---|---|
| Je fais mes devoirs | Mes devoirs sont faits par moi | (I am doing my homework) |
| Nous achetons un cadeau. | Un cadeau est acheté par nous | (We are buying a gift) |
| Je pars faire la cuisine. | La cuisine est faite par moi | (I am going to cook) |

How to recognize the COD in French ?
It is important to know what is the subject and the verb before finding out what is the direct complement.
The direct object complement answers the following questions:
- Subject + verb + qui ?
- Subject + verb + quoi ?
Examples
In these two examples, you will study the entire sentence.
Nous achetons un cadeau. (we are buying a gift)
- the subject is "nous"
- the verb is "achetons"
- Now, ask the questions "quoi ?" to find the COD because here we are talking about an thing or an object.
- Nous achetons quoi ? → un cadeau
Pierre attend son amie. (Peter is waiting for his friend)
- the subject is "Pierre"
- the verb is "attend"
- Now ask the questions "qui ?" to find the COD because here we are talking about a person.
- Pierre attend qui ? → son amie
The position of the COD in French
The COD usually follows the verb except if it is a pronoun. The COD can be replaced with pronouns like:
- le
- la
- les
- que
When it is placed before the verb, the COD becomes a pronoun and has to agree in gender and number with the complement.
| Position | Examples | Translations |
|---|---|---|
| After the verb | Nathalie fait la vaisselle | (Natalia is washing the dishes) |
| Before the verb | Nathalie la fait | (Natalia washes it) |
Do not forget that when the COD is before the verb, it agrees with the verb that use the auxiliary avoir to form the compound times.
- Ils avaient mangé les lasagnes.
- Ils les avaient mangés.
The grammatical category of the COD in French
The grammatical nature (French: la nature grammaticale) of a direct object can be:
- a noun or nominal group
- pronoun
- subordinate clause
- an infinitive verb
| Nature | Examples | Translations |
|---|---|---|
| Noun or nominal group | Samantha conduit la voiture | (Samantha is driving the car) |
| Pronoun | Samantha la conduit | (Samantha is driving it) |
| Subordinate clause | Samantha pense que tu sois faché | (Samantha thinks that you were angry) |
| Infinitive verb | Nous espérions dormir | (We thought we would sleep) |

Native speaker from Paris with about 15 years of teaching experience. I’m well-travelled, and I’ve lived and worked in different parts of the world (Europe, Latin America, North America, Africa, Australia and a little bit in Asia).
I have a postgraduate degree (France) in Languages, Literature and Cultural Studies and I’m currently a freelance translator. I’ve previously worked at universities in France and abroad (South Africa/Australia) and have a solid experience in teaching (French Language, Literature, Philosophy, Cultural Studies, Creative Writing, etc.), designing courses, evaluating and guiding students, preparing students for exams/job interviews/professional presentations, managing a Language and Literature department at the university, presenting papers at academic conferences worldwide, publishing, translating and journalism. Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to teach people with different profiles and from various backgrounds: international professionals, university students, beginner translators and teachers, high school students, retirees, travellers, francophiles, children (help with homework), etc.
Being an open-minded, flexible and patient teacher, I enjoy helping others to discover their potential and to explore it. Adapting myself to my students' needs, pace and objectives is essential for me, and designing the best way to work with each student is very stimulating and rewarding.
After the initial introductory lesson, I will design customised lesson plans that will evolve as you progress. We can also, at any time during the programme, change our working method if you wish to do so. I remain very flexible in that regard.
The learning materials will be varied, and we will choose together the themes and aspects of French language to be covered, in line with your objectives. In any case, I am very attentive in general, so please don't hesitate to make any suggestions.
Regardless of your level and objectives, I'm sure that we can find the best way possible to share and enjoy this French language adventure together.

Learning with a system and joy.

Because of its linguistic relationship with English, Norwegian is relatively easy to learn for people with a knowledge of English. About a third of the vocabulary can be understood by everyone either immediately or after a few lessons. The grammar is simpler than in German or Dutch, for example. The best prerequisites for learning this wonderful language!
My lessons are aimed at beginners and advanced learners (A1-B2).
I practise modern language teaching methods that I learned at the Folke University in Bergen. This means:
- We learn by talking a lot to each other
- We will work with images that encourage us to speak
- We are not bothered by mistakes, but rather enjoy new words and success stories
- We learn new words, spellings, sentences and pronunciations by building on what we already know
- We take grammar seriously where it is important. We don't let it limit us
- We learn easiest when we have fun and enjoy it.
Regardless of whether you are preparing for a job interview, are thinking of emigrating or are just there to enjoy the matter: My lessons adapt to your wishes.
The first introductory lesson is free. If you book several hours at once, you will receive a discount.
--------------------------
I was born in Luxembourg and have lived in Bergen / Norway for over 10 years. I work as a historian in a UNESCO World Heritage Museum and am in daily contact with Scandinavian history and the Norwegian language. I originally studied Scandinavian Studies, Medieval History and Archeology in Germany and Norway. I learned Norwegian about 20 years ago and taught for several years at the University of Bonn / Germany and the Folke University in Bergen / Norway. I speak 5 languages and can also read some historical languages (including Old Norse).
These experiences will make learning Norwegian a lot easier for you. I know the pitfalls that await foreigners and which donkey bridges work well. My cultural-historical knowledge will not only give you an understanding of Norwegian culture and way of life, but will also help you in a practical way to be able to easily remember strange words and formulations at first glance and not to get lost in the thicket of countless dialects.
I am looking forward to our collaboration!
Vi snakkes,

Lou works in a very structured way and sent me teaching material before the lesson. After a bit of small talk, we worked on the topic of the lesson, with the lesson divided into reading comprehension, discussion of the text, listening comprehension of a video and a written assignment on the topic. Lou picked an interesting topic that created plenty of opportunity for conversation. She corrected mistakes in a friendly manner and responded very well to my learning requests. That was fun!
