To Write, to See, to Believe

Verbs take a direct object if they do not need a prepostition to connect it to the noun.  Verbs that take indirect objects use prepositions after the verb.  Voir-to see (vwahr) and croire-to believe (krwahr) take a direct and écrire-to write (ay-kreer) takes an indirect.

voir-to see croire-to believe écrire-to write
vois (vwah) voyons (vwah-yohn)   crois (krwah) croyons (krwah-yohn) écris (ay-kree) écrivons (ay-kree-vohn)
vois voyez (vwah-yay) crois croyez (krwah-yay) écris écrivez (ay-kree-vay)
voit voient (vwah) croit croient (krwah) écrit écrivent (ay-kreev)

You can usually tell by using the verbs in English.  We say "I see her" or "She believes him" or "He writes to them."   In French, it would be "Je la vois" (direct), "Elle le croit" (direct) and "Il leur écrit." (indirect)  But don't always count on English to help you out.  Téléphoner (à) and Obéir (à) both take indirect objects in French but you can't tell that in English.  In this case, you can tell by the à that follows the infinitive.
