Quoi also means what...

How do you know when to use Quoi in a situation where ce qui and ce que is present.

Bonjour Diana !

"Quoi" will be used when "what" is followed by an infinitive = "what to do, what to think...":
"Je ne sais pas quoi faire." (I don't know what to do.)
"Il se demande quoi choisir." (He's wondering what to choose.)

I hope that's helpful!

Yes, it is. Mille fois merci

Then how is it possible that a French consumer's magazine is called Que Choisir?

I always thought this meant 'what to choose', but if we follow the rule it should be 'quoi choisir'. Right?
