I just remembered I have a test Tomorrow morning and I really need help because I kind of forgot all my notes... I've read some help sites but can't find what I'm looking for. We're doing a quiz on sentences like, "I talked to her yesterday", or "I replied to him." I know it has something to do with Lui and Leur, but do you need to make agreement?! And where does the Lui and Leur go in the sentence?!

The indirect object pronoun ("lui" or "leur") usually goes before the conjugated verb:
Je lui parle.
Je lui ai parlé.
Tu leur écris une lettre.
Tu leur as écrit une lettre.
The exception is if there is a conjugated verb plus an infinitive, then it goes before the infinitive:
Je vais lui parler.
Tu vas leur écrire une lettre.
The agreement part is easy: if the indirect object is singular, choose "lui." If it's plural, choose "leur," as follows. (Do NOT add letters such as "e" or "s" to the past participle as you do to make them agree with preceding direct object pronouns; past participle agreement is not done with indirect object pronouns)
J'ai parlé à Marie hier.
Je lui ai parlé hier.
J'ai répondu au professeur.
Je lui ai répondu.
Il a téléphoné à ses parents.
Il leur a téléphoné.
Elle a posé une question aux étudiants.
Elle leur a posé une question.
Hope that helps. For more info, see the link to the about.com explanation of indirect object pronouns below. (About.com has a very detailed French grammar section, incidentally!)

1. No, she does not need papers unless you will be doing breed shows with her. So you can't enter her in any AQHA shows, but barrel races and gymkhanas are perfectly fine. 2. Nope! Some people will use their registered name or show name, but most will just write down the barn name if the entry form asks for it. 3. Halter you may get some weird looks, snaffle you are fine. You do not need a shanked bit unless you are doing pleasure/equitation/trail courses and the rule books specifically say you need a shanked bit. But barrel races will let you use anything. For better turning bitless I would recommend a Little S hackamore with a flexible nose, which is about as harsh as a rope halter and works a little better for barrel racing and gaming. 4. Unless there is a set dress code, you can wear anything. To jackpots and play days I typically wear jeans and a t-shirt with my boots (if I'm not in a costume), but my gymkhana association requires western wear so I wear a long-sleeved shirt with jeans, boots, a belt, and a helmet. Some people think there is a lack of communication, but they are false. There is more communication with barrel racing than in any other discipline I have ridden in, western or English. Barrel horses have to be the most supple and responsive horses on the market, so it's hard not to have any communication with them. Have fun and if you do decide to try it don't get discouraged if you don't get a good time at first. It takes practice, but I can tell you know what you're doing. Good luck!

You need a site that reviews direct and indirect objects. Try this one:
http://www.languageguide.org/francais/grammar/pronouns/objects.html
"Lui" and "leur" go before the main verb.

Well first off the basic difference here is that leur means their, so use that in the case of plural, for instance, "I spoke to them yesterday" would be "je leur ai parlé hier" It doesn't matter between him/her you would use lui. So for your examples, "I talked to her yesterday" is "Je lui ai parlé hier" and "I replied to him." would be "Je lui ai répondu." good luck.

The 'lui' is for 'him', and it goes before the end of the sentence, such as "J'ai dit lui hier soir" (I talked to him last night.) Hope that helps!
