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.

qui est que are relative pronouns, they don't mean someone or something

#

well, not always at any rate

#

in this case, you need to use "qui" because it functions as a subject in the sentence

Instead, qui marks the subject and que marks the direct object of a relative clause.

#

Quelque chose se passe <= here, quelque chose is the subject, so we can have "quelque chose qui se passe". And we turn quelque chose into an interrogative pronoun so we have " qu'est-ce qui se passe ?"

These are pronoms relatifs composés right ?

#

Do we only use them while using discours indirect

English doesn't make the distinction the way French does, but French is actually much simpler than English - you just need to know if something is a subject or an object

  • Le chat qui mange une souris → the can that eats a mouse
  • Le chat que j'ai vu → the cat that I saw

I have already, they're relative pronouns

#

So in these usages does the relative pronouns connect two phrases ?

#

Sorry for asking too much questions

regal kite
#

relative pronouns always connect two clauses
