2.
Qui/que
Suppose there are two sentences, and there is a noun repeated
in the second sentence.
If this noun is repeated as a subject in the other sentence
we can combine the two sentences using ‘qui’ in between. Then we have to remove
the repeated noun from the second sentence.
e.g. Je connais ce garçon. Il porte un chapeau. (i know this boy. He wears a cap.)
Here ce garçon is repeated as ‘il’
in the second sentence.
Remove ‘il’ from the second sentence and join the two
sentences using ‘qui’. i.e.
Je connais ce garçon qui porte un
chapeau. (I know this boy who wears a cap.)
Look at the meanings in the brackets, they remain the same.
Now suppose there are two sentences, and there is a noun
repeated in the second sentence.
If this noun is repeated as an object in the other sentence
we can combine the two sentences using ‘que’ in between. Then we have to remove
the repeated noun from the second sentence.
e.g. J’ai une montre. J’aime cette montre. (I have a
watch. I like this watch.)
Here cette montre is repeated as object in the second
sentence. So we can use que and remove the object from the second sentence.
J’ai une montre que j’aime. (I have a watch which I like.)
Again look at the meanings in the brackets. They are the
same.
