Here's why:
* Direct and Indirect Object Pronouns: Object pronouns in French are used to replace direct objects (the thing being acted upon) and indirect objects (the person or thing receiving the action).
* Infinitives: Infinitives are verbs in their basic form (e.g., "to eat", "to speak").
* Placement Rule: French grammar dictates that object pronouns must be placed before infinitives.
Example:
* Je veux le voir. (I want to see him.)
* "Le" is the direct object pronoun replacing "him."
* "Voir" is the infinitive "to see."
Important Note: This rule applies to both direct and indirect object pronouns.
