Lesson details
Vocabulary and transcripts for this lessons
Key learning points
- When the relative pronoun relates to the object of the sentence, we use 'que' instead of 'qui'.
- Où and quand can also be used in relative clauses to detail where or when something happens.
- [qu] sounds like 'question' or 'quatre', [en/an] sound like 'enfant' and [e] sounds like 'je'.
- Dont is another relative pronoun; it means 'of which' or 'whose'.
Keywords
Relative pronoun - a pronoun that introduces a relative clause, e.g. 'qui', 'que'
Object-relative clause - adds information about the object in the main clause
Common misconception
'Que' can be used in a subject-relative clause, e.g. 'le prof que s'appelle M. Jones est sympa.'.
'Que' introduces an object-relative clause where a new subject and verb is used, e.g. 'la voiture que je voudrais est très chère'. 'Que' shortens to 'qu'' in front of a vowel.
Equipment
Mini whiteboard and pens are useful if possible for the quick check tasks.
