Relative Pronouns- qui, que, dont • Means that, which, who, or whom? • Used to describe someone or something previously mentioned
Present Participles • The “-ing” form • Form: • Drop: “-ons” of nous form • Add: -ant • Irregulars: être étant, savoir sachant, avoir ayant • NOT USED THE SAME AS ENGLISH • Present Participle: replaces relative pronoun qui + verb. • Le film qui passemaintenant, c’estceluiquej’ai vu. Le film passant maintenant, c’estceluiquej’ai vu. • Gerund: Add “en” before a present participle to indicate that someone is doing something at the same time as something else. Replaces pendant que + same sujbect + verb • J’aimangé pendant quej’ailu. J’aimangé en lisant. • As an adjective • C’estune histoire passionante!
Interrogative Pronouns • Means which one?, used to ask a question. • Refers back to a previously mentioned noun (pronoun will agree with that noun!). • Ex: You want to watch a series? Which one? Tuveuxregarderunesérie? Laquelle?
Demonstrative Pronouns • Means the one/the ones, used to demonstrate • Refers back to a previously mentioned noun (agreement!) • Ex: Which movie do you like? The one with Johnny Depp! Quel film aimes-tu? Celui avec Johnny Depp! • To distinguish “this one” from “that one,” or “these” from “those,” add –ci (this) or –là (that) after the pronoun • Ex: Which apples do you want? Those! Quelles pommes voudrais-tu? Celles-là! • Ex: I want a toy. Which one? This one! Je voudraisun jouet. Lequel? Celui-ci!
