Bonjour Carol,

Here are links to Kwiziq lessons on the position of object pronouns and on object pronouns:

French direct object pronoun

French object pronouns

position-of-object-pronouns-with-verbs-in-simple-tenses

position-of-object-pronouns-in-sentences-with-infinitives

position-of-object-pronouns-in-negative-sentences-direct-and-indirect-pronouns

I hope this is helpful.

Bonne journée !

You cannot say je parle à lui. This would be incorrect.
