Duration: 25 minPrerequisites: relatif-qui-que-manipulerPass mark: 80%

1. Objective

By the end, you will reuse “Qui or que?” in a sentence or situation of your own.

2. Discover

Read the “Qui or que?” examples as models. Identify what stays stable and what can change.

3. Understand

To understand “Qui or que?”, start from the examples rather than an abstract definition. Notice how the groups connect. Meaning comes from their relationship, not only from isolated words.

La femme qui parle…Le livre que je lis…Le bus qui arrive…La personne que j’attends…Le collègue qui m’aide…Le film que nous avons vu…
Watch out

First identify the relation between the ideas: cause, consequence, contrast, condition, time… Choose the connector from the meaning, not the other way around.

4. Guided practice

5. Independent practice

6. Write / speak

Create two personal examples with “Qui or que?”: one close to the model and one from your own day.

7. Check your learning

8. Remember

For qui / que, identify the context first, then the form carrying the useful information. Always check your answer in a complete sentence.
