FYW 231: “qui” vs “que”, a brush-up

JESSICA: NATIVE FRENCH TEACHER, FOUNDER OF FRENCH YOUR WAY
About this episode

This is yet another question from Artur, who was featured in the previous episode!

“I recently stumbled upon one hitch in one exercise in a course, namely:

“Si quelque chose tente Robert, il l’achète” becomes “Il achète ce qui le tente.”

According to you, it should be: “Il achète ce que le tente”? I am confused here. Could you clarify this?”

The difference between QUI and QUE is by far my most popular post and as such, is well worth a brush-up! See the links to my article, audio version and FREE printable worksheet with the answers below.
