Also known as: qui que dont où · French relative pronouns · pronoms relatifs
Relative pronouns connect a noun to a subordinate clause in French. The main forms are qui for a subject, que for a direct object, dont for de-related meanings, où for place or time, and lequel after many prepositions. The choice depends on grammatical function.
In la femme qui parle, qui is the subject of parle. In le livre que je lis, que is the direct object of lis.
Relative pronouns let candidates build complex sentences, avoid repetition, and demonstrate higher-level syntax in TEF/TCF and DELF writing.
