Tonic pronouns, or pronoms toniques, are used in French in various situations, such as when you want to emphasize something or someone, when referring to someone directly, or when there is no verb present in a sentence.
Understanding and correctly using tonic pronouns will not only enhance your French grammar skills but also significantly improve your conversational fluency. Let’s dive into this exciting topic.
