Questions Categories: Simple words- pourquoi, comment, etc. Si Questions involving a preposition QUE New one today: qui

New one Today: Que You know how to answer a preposition question. Voici + item + preposition + (lequel form) + Je + verb Avec quoi chantes-tu? Voici + la musique + avec+ laquelle+ Je + chante

Is there another way to do this? Well, you could also answer with a “that” Here is the pen that I like The Trick here is that prepositions CANNOT come at the end Here is the pen that I write with - DOES NOT WORK

So, how do we say ‘that’ Que in the middle of the sentence - that THIS IS THE EASY ONE Avec quoi dessines - tu? Voici le stylo que J’aime. Voici le stylo que je préfère.

So, how do you answer a preposition question again? Now we have two options Voici + item + prep + lequel + Je + verb OR Voici + item + que + Subj. + verb

Qui: who, that At the beginning of the sentence: who In the middle: that WAIT A MINUTE!!!! ISN’T QUE THAT????? It’s a different part of speech

So, when do I use qui/ que Well, que is when you are talking about two things Avec quoi dessines-tu? Voici le crayon que J’aime. There are TWO subjects: le crayon/ Je J’aime le crayon qui est grand. AFTER THE QUI there is no subject.

In other words qui works when you have a verb with no subject ______ il a - you know that there is an il there, so you will use que ______ ai - you know that there is no il there, so you will use qui.

When translating Look at the expression. If the that has an “is” after it, it’s going to be qui. If it has a subject or a name, its going to be que
