We often use stressed pronouns:
- After c'est (it's):
-Who's the most beautiful? -I am (literally “It's me!”)!
- Before subject pronouns such as je (I), tu (you), il (he), etc. in order to emphasize the subject:
Your brother is really funny, but (you) you're annoying.
- After prepositions such as à (to), avec (with), chez (at/to the house of), pour (for), etc.:
This book belongs to him.
-Are you having lunch with us? -No, I have to go back to my place.
- After et (and):
-How are you? -I'm good, and you?
- After a verb in the imperative:
