Please be patient

Our volunteers look into many questions every day; sometimes it takes them a little while to answer.

Pro tip: you can rename the thread title with `.tr <thread name>`

Make it descriptive, including relevant context, but also to the point. This way you improve your chances of getting a more relevant and specific answer.

Que makes sense if there is a subordinate clause after "that". But we have the pronom by itself, so it's gotta be the demonstrative pronoun. "Ils nous ont dit ça/cela" is the right answer.

I see, thanks. I checked again and there is another sentence coming after this. It makes sense now

whole phrase was "they told us that it was very quiet"

[gentle pulsar]

Another sentence, or another clause?

[sick pulsar]

In that case, que is the better option.

[gentle pulsar]

Ah, yeah.

[bleak stone]

When do you use Que and Ca?

Difference wise

[gentle pulsar]

'Ça' would be that in terms of this specific thing instead of connecting two clauses.

If you can replace it with 'this', then it's likely 'ça'. If you can't, it's 'que'.

[bleak stone]

Hm can you explain in examples

[gentle pulsar]

I like that (this specific thing).
J'aime ça.

I like that he is kind.
J'aime qu'il soit gentil.

'Que' connects clauses. It does not refer to a noun.

Omg thank you ❤️
