Can anyone explain rules of pronom relatif compose
Answers
Answer:
To connect the dependent clause or relative clause to the main clause. To replace the subject, direct object, indirect object, or preposition. When it comes to French, relative pronouns work the same way. These are the words qui, que, lequel, auquel, duquel, dont and où....
Words - qui, que, lequel, auquel, duquel, dont and où.
1.qui and que
Qui (subject) could mean who, which, or that.
Que (direct object) could mean who, whom, which, or that.
A few examples:
Mon frère, qui a vingt ans, est à l'université. (My brother, who's twenty, is at university.)
*Est-ce qu'il y a un bus qui va au centre-ville? (ls there a bus that goes to the town centre?)
2. lequel
Lequel is the French relative pronoun counterpart for “which” and it is used for indirect objects. It follows the prepositions à, de or pour and only used when referring to things (never about people). In addition, it has to agree with the noun's gender (masculine or feminine) and number (singular or plural).
Masculine singular - lequel
Feminine singular - laquelle
Masculine plural - lesquels
Feminine plural - lesquelles
All four means “which”
Some examples:
le livre pour lequel elle est connue (the book she is famous for)
la table sur laquelle j'ai mis mon sac (the table I put my bag on)
3. dont
translated in English, it means whose, of whom, of which.
Let's see some examples:
Plural noun: les films dont tu parles (the films you are talking about)
Singular noun: la femme dont la voiture est en panne (the woman whose car has broken down)
4. où
Its English counterpart could either be where, when or even which and that
Some examples:
Paris est la ville où on peut manger les meilleurs escargots. (Paris is the city where we can eat the best snails.)
C'est l'année où ils ont gagné la coupe du monde. (That's the year they won the world cup.)
