Correct :)

Yes, strictly speaking calling something 'the subject / object of a sentence' is inaccurate because sentences can have more than one subject / object. I usually say it this way for the sake of simplicity; some learners aren't comfortable with terminology such as subordinate clause. To clarify: Je veux regarder un film qui est intéressant. Un film is the subject of the verb être, hence qui. Je veux regarder un film, ce qui est intéressant. Je veux regarder un film is the subject of the subordinate clause (as per your analysis), hence ce qui. I probably ought to refer to specific verbs when explaining this. 'Je' is the subject of 'vouloir', 'un film' is the object of 'regarder', and 'regarder un film' is the object of 'vouloir'. Does that make sense? I feel like I've answered about three questions there and you only asked one, so hopefully the answer you're looking for is there somewhere!

Correct. The subject-object distinction is all about a word's role in a sentence, so it doesn't really matter whether it's a person, thing, or anything else. It's unfortunate that we use the word 'object' which, of course, normally means a tangible thing. Grammatically speaking, an object is the person, thing etc. that is at the receiving end of an action. I hope that helps ☺️

I think you may have used the word "object" colloquially here when describing the sentence fragment at 2:31, but does the portion of the sentence before the comma actually become the subject of the verb?

I've just watched it back and I think I misspoke initially. The sentence fragment preceding the comma is the subject of the verb 'être'. I do correct this later, but I can see why that was confusing! Thank you for pointing it out

Technically, 'ce qui' is the subject, but since it refers to everything before the comma, it is easier to think of that as the subject when explaining the grammar 😊

Great question. The subject / object rule still applies, but I understand that it's less intuitive. Ce qui (what / that which) represents le beau paysage, which is the subject of the verb plaire. On the other hand, in "ce que j'aime le plus est le beau paysage", ce que also represents le beau paysage which is the object of the verb aimer. A good rule of thumb to follow is : ce que + subject (usually a noun or subject pronoun) ce qui + verb (although there may also be an object pronoun before the verb, so be careful!) It's not a perfect rule but certainly helps in most cases.

@@ParapluieFrench Thanks for the immediate response. Still a bit confusing but I'm getting there. I cam up with this example - "Ce que je désire au monde, c’est la paix." Ce que is replacing the object 'la paix' and the rule above ce que + subject also is obvious I think....

I think you've just explained it! That usage falls into the "that which / 'what' but not a question" category. Your translation of "it would be better if I go and see what Max is doing" fits perfectly. I'm not sure there's much more to discuss!

@@ParapluieFrench Thank you! Hope to see more great French lessons from you in the near future! If you're stuck for ideas, valoir and its uses would be a good one :D
