Using Qui

Liz H.C1Kwiziq Q&A regular contributor

Are you saying qui can’t be used unless it’s in the inverted form? Here’s the lesson question and I used qui vs qui est-ce que: Qui vous avez envie de revoir ? I know you can’t use the longer version with inverted questions. Thanks for your help.

This question relates to:French lesson "Qui/Qui est-ce que ... ? = Whom ... ? (French Questions)"

Hi Liz,

I think the lesson is saying that you can say either -

Qui avez-vous envie de revoir?

or

Qui est-ce que vous avez envie de revoir?

Qui vous avez envie de revoir?

and

C'est qui que vous avez envie de revoir

is more spoken /sloppy French.

Hope this helps!
