FRENCH SENTENCE BUILDER – PART 2·3 · Precise questions In Unit 2, you learned the various ways to form a question such as using intona- tion, using the phrase est-ce que, and making subject-verb inversions. In this unit, you will continue practicing these interrogative structures while focusing on ask- ing for very precise information. Complex questions Questions in which you expect more specific information than a simple choice- answer or a straightforward yes or no response are referred to as complex ques- tions. They start with an interrogative pronoun, an interrogative adverb, or any other interrogative word or phrase. Questions with qui There are several ways to create an interrogative sentence with the interrogative pronoun qui. The elements and word order in the sentence will vary according to the function performed by qui, which can be either subject or direct object. The various possible structures for an interrogative sentence introduced by qui are as follows: Qui + verb In this interrogative sentence, qui is the subject and is followed directly by the verb. Qui était ce monsieur? Who was that gentleman? (qui = subject of était) Qui dit cela? Who says that? (qui = subject of dit) Qui a compris la leçon? Who understood the lesson? (qui = subject of a compris) Qui est-ce qui + verb In this interrogative sentence, qui is the subject, but the word order is the one used in the est-ce que method with one difference: The phrase used is est-ce qui.
