Complete the sentences by dragging and dropping the relevant pronoun for each subject. Use the example to guide you.

Ex. : Je → Il me faut

Tu → Il [not done] te 1 faut une perruque
Il/Elle → Il lui 2 faut une perruque
Vous → Il vous 3 faut une perruque

1 te :

Tu (you) → Il te faut une perruque (You need a wig). The pronoun te PRONOMS COI corresponds to tu. To indicate necessity, we use il + indirect object pronoun (me, te, lui…) + faut + noun (here, une perruque). Example: tu ne vois rien ! Il te faut des lunettes (you can't see anything! You need glasses).

2 lui :

Il/elle (he/she) → Il lui faut une perruque (He/she needs a wig). The pronoun lui is used for both il and elle. Remember that we can also say il/elle a besoin d'une perruque (he/she needs a wig). Example: Anna est fatiguée, il lui faut des vacances (Anna is tired, she needs a vacation).

3 vous :

Vous (you) → Il vous faut une perruque (You need a wig). The indirect object pronoun (COI) here is the same as the subject pronoun - vous. We can use a singular or plural noun after il me/te/vous + faut (I/you/you need). Examples: il vous faut une voiture (you need a car); il me faut des chaussures (I need shoes).
