parle a moi vs il me parle

Question

Il parle rarement mais il ________ tous les matins.a) parle a moib) me parle What is the difference? I choised A but answer is B.

Accepted Answer

Hi Çaĝri,
only b) is correct :
....Il me parle tous les matins.
Bonne Continuation!

Answer

If the answers are as written above, (a) is automatically wrong regardless - as «a moi» is itself incorrect, it has no meaning in French, it does not mean «to/with me»; to have a chance of being correct, it would need to read «à moi».

Answer

What is the explanition? Why dont we use "parle à moi"?

Answer

Firstly, what was the option «parle à moi» or «parle a moi»? These are NOT the same. The first COULD mean something, the second does not. But, neither is correct. The object pronoun comes before the verb. The stress pronouns have limited usage in French, and you cannot use a stress pronoun when an object pronoun is required.

Answer

Hi Çagri,
 It's a little bit like explaning to a French person why you say in English
He speaks to me
and not
He me speaks
it is just the way it is, many differences between languages.
