Күн бұрын

The French relative pronouns (les pronoms relatifs) qui que dont où lequel, are made to link two different clauses. Qui will replace the subject. Que will replace the subject. Dont will replace a clause starting with the preposition de, and où will replace a place or a place in time. Lequel - Auquel - Duquel are going to be used for indirect clauses.

@noahhenderson3881 Ай бұрын

I finally kind of understand dont. This is how I think of it. It usually means "of which". We don't really use this in English and I'll show you in a little bit what I mean by this. How I remember "dont" and when to use it is I always think "Does the verb it's relating to end with a de? If yes, dont is used, if no, then it'll be a different relative pronoun" a good example of this is "parler de" (to talk about). It's a verb that has de attached to the end, so you would use dont. Here is an example. If I wanted to say "here's the family (in which) I'm talking about." You could say in French "voici la famille. Je parle de cette famille." That is two sentences, and it's redundant and unnecessary to say when you can just simply say "voici la famille DONT je parle". Again, the dont represents the "in which". Like I said earlier we don't usually say our sentences like this in English because we would have just said "here is the family I'm talking about" because in English, it makes perfect sense not to add the relative pronoun but in French it makes no sense at all. I think the reason English speakers get so confused over relative pronouns like this is because half the time in English, they are not used. But just remember that "dont" is a relative pronoun that is used when there is a verb + de in a sentence. I try to not think too much about what the relative pronoun is replacing (as far as subject or direct/indirect object) because that confuses me but if I pick apart the sentence and compare a phrase to one with a relative pronoun in it, it tends to make more sense and it's easier to understand why the word is being used.

@pedramtabande1110 2 жыл бұрын

so i finished the grammar book last week and now i’m reviewing some of the chapters, as you pointed out here yourself, we can use the two following sentences interchangeably: 1. Le client auquel je parle est impoli. 2. Le client à qui je parle est impoli. so is this use of “à qui” in the second sentence just about people or can it also be about things like objects or ideas? like is this one correct: L'idée à qui je pense est risquée. ? and then I assume the same rule applies for de qui and dont. I mean do these two sentences also have the same meaning? 1. C'est la personne dont je t'ai parlé. 2. C'est la personne de qui je t'ai parlé.

For ideas, you can only use L'idée à laquelle je penses :) Not à qui.

Hello, thanks for your great videos, here is a question, I think sometimes I can use two ways, for example, "a qui" and "auqeul", for example, "le client auquel je parle est impoli" and I can say "le client a qui je parle est impli", am I right?

@@TheperfectfrenchwithDylane One more question please, if I have a place preceded by "à", I can use one of these 3 relative pronouns, à qui, auquel or où, for example, c'est le l'adresse du restaurant où nous allons, c'est l'adresse du restaurant auquel nous allons, or c'est l'adresse du restaurant a qui nous allons, am I right? Also if a place preceded by "de", 4 ways relative pronouns can be used, de qui, dont, duquel and où, is this right?

Excuse me, m'am. Um,... I'm, at the moment, confused between où and que. I self-learn French, only me, my text book (French Step by Step by Myrna Bell Rochester), and Google. I've already known où used for time and place and que is for direct objects, after que is a dependent clause 🤔 But I sometimes don't get it right when doing excercises. For example this question in my book, L'hotel a un restaurant ...... nous aimons dîner. I wrote que but the answer key is où. Why? 😶 I do hope you could please help me answer my question. Oh, and I don't understand what direct object means.
