Vocabulary and transcripts for this lessons
Key learning points
- Questions are formed by subject-verb inversion, adding est-ce que or intonation. Question words can be added to start.
- A relative clause provides more information about a noun or pronoun from the previous clause.
- Qui means 'who?' in a question, but it also means 'who', 'which', or 'that' in the middle of a sentence.
Keywords
Relative clause - adds information about the noun in the main clause
Qui - meaning 'who', 'which' or 'that' when used in the middle of a sentence
Common misconception
Que can be used in a subject relative clause e.g. le prof que s'appelle M. Jones est sympa.
When the relative clause introduces a verb to describe a subject, 'qui' must be used and not 'que'. E.g. le prof qui s'appelle M. Jones est sympa.
