How do you say 'her' in French?

Answer 1

Generally speaking, "her" would be "elle". But that can change when used in a sentence. For example:

I love her. -> Je l'aime. (direct object)

He gives her a ring. -> Il lui offre une bague. (indirect object)

"Her" can also be possessive in English, in which case it would translate to the 3rd person French possessive adjectives son/sa/ses.

Answer 2

As a direct object pronoun

La or L' (before a word starting with a vowel or as aspired h)

I met her - Je l'ai rencontrée I love her - je l'aime

Follow her ! : suis-la

As an indirect object pronoun - lui

I gave her the ring : je lui ai donné la bague

I told her all I knew : Je lui ai dit tout ce que je savais.

As a pronoun after a preposition - elle

I'm older than he - Je suis plus vieux qu'elle

I sat close to her - je me suis assis près d'elle

As an possessive Pronoun Son (if direct object is masculine)

Son frère - Her brother - Son avion - Her plane

Sa (if direct object is feminine)

Sa voiture - Her car - Sa soeur - Her sister.

Ses (if direct object is plural)

Ses jouets - Her toys
