Friends and relationships: qui and que
Talk about how you get on with family and friends, say what makes a good friend, and link ideas with qui and que.
Getting on
| Pronoun | s'entendre (to get on) |
|---|---|
| je | m'entends |
| tu | t'entends |
| il / elle / on | s'entend |
| nous | nous entendons |
| vous | vous entendez |
| ils / elles | s'entendent |
A good friend
... est gentil(le), est drôle, m'écoute (listens to me), me fait rire (makes me laugh), partage mes intérêts (shares my interests).
Il / Elle est toujours là pour moi. = He / She is always there for me.
Qui and que
| Word | Followed by | Example |
|---|---|---|
| qui (who, which) | a verb | J'ai une amie qui habite à Paris. |
| que (whom, which, that) | a subject + verb | C'est un ami que je vois tous les jours. |
Translate: I have a friend (female) who lives in Paris and whom I see every summer.
- a friend (female): une amie.
- who lives: qui habite (qui + verb).
- whom I see: que je vois (que + subject + verb).
- every summer: chaque été.
Answer: J'ai une amie qui habite à Paris et que je vois chaque été.
Je m'entends bien avec... / Je me dispute avec... Un bon ami, c'est quelqu'un qui m'écoute. Qui + verb (who / which as subject); que + subject + verb (whom / which as object); qu' before a vowel.
- Not “s'entendent”. S'entendent is the ils / elles form.
- Not “le livre il lit”. French cannot leave out que.
