|
Rules governing use of qui |
Qui can refer to people or things and is used as the subject of a dependent clause. Because qui becomes the subject of the sentence it is always followed by a conjugated verb and must agree in number with the antecedent it is referring to. |
|
|
Rules governing use of que |
Que also refers to people or things, but it is used as the direct object of a clause, so que is always followed by a subject and not a verb. Unlike qui, with que you make an elision with a vowel and remove the “e” (see the next example). In the past tense, que takes both the gender and number of whatever it is referring to, so make sure the past participle is in agreement! |

|
The bottle of Coke that I bought is flat. |
La bouteille de Coca que j’ai achetée est sans bulles. |
|
|
Rules governing use of dont |
Referring to either people or things, dont replaces de + an object in a relative clause. Some expressions in French automatically have de attached to it, hence the usage of dont is required here. For example, parler de (to speak of), avoir besoin de (to need), and avoir peur de (to fear). |
|
|

Le livre dont nous parlons est Les Misérables. (parler de) |

|
Rules governing lequel |
The relative pronoun lequel (and all of its forms) replace a preposition (other than de) and a thing/object in a relative clause. Make sure that the pronoun agrees in both number and gender to whatever it is describing. |
|
|
A language is a prism across which its users are condemned to see the world. |
Une langue est un prisme à travers lequel ses usagers sont condamnés à voir le monde. |

|
The questions to which one responds yes or no are rarely interesting. |
