Hello,
Would the correct way to say "La boulangerie devant qui j'attends est fermée" be "La boulangerie devant où j'attends est fermée"?
Is there an example where you could use 'devant qui' if used with a 'living thing'? For example, would it be correct to say "Le monsieur devant qui je me tiens tousse"?
Nick
You could say
is correct
Bonne Continuation, Nick !
Hi Nick,
You wrote "Le monsieur devant qui je me tiens tousse"
I don't see any fault with your above proposal. I think it is entirely valid grammatically.
Jim
Actually, the version with + qui only applies to living things and not objects. Since la boulangerie is inanimate, devant qui would be wrong in this case.
