Build an object pronoun placement drill across French, Italian, German, Portuguese, and Spanish, covering direct, indirect, and reflexive pronoun position rules.
English leaves its object pronoun sitting right after the verb, no matter what. "I see him," "I give it to her," done. Most of the languages here don't work that way. French and Italian pull the pronoun in front of the conjugated verb. German shifts it based on case. Get the placement wrong and a sentence that would be perfectly clear in English becomes the kind of mistake that marks a learner as still translating word by word instead of thinking in the target language. Language is [LANGUAGE:select:French,Italian,German,Portuguese,Spanish]. Pronoun type is [PRONOUN_TYPE:select:Direct object,Indirect object,Reflexive,Mixed across all three]. Level is [LEVEL:select:A1 (beginner),A2 (elementary),B1 (intermediate),B2 (upper intermediate)]. I need [ITEM_COUNT:number:10-30] items. Build each item around a short sentence that requires replacing a noun object with the correct pronoun in the correct position for [LANGUAGE], not just the correct pronoun in isolation. Cover the standard preverbal placement pattern for French and Italian, the case-marked pronoun forms for German, and note explicitly where a pronoun attaches to an infinitive, a gerund, or an affirmative command instead of sitting before the conjugated verb, since that shift in position is exactly where learners default back to English word order out of habit. If mixed practice was requested, include items where two pronoun types combine in the same sentence and the two must stack in the correct order, since that combined case is harder than either pronoun type alone and rarely gets its own dedicated practice. Close by naming the one placement rule in this set most likely to get skipped under time pressure, since that's the one worth over-practicing now rather than fixing later in real conversation.
