Verbe dans la phrase qui commence -- Toi qui aimes tant ...

Question

Je crois que le deuxième verbe dans cette phrase devrait être --- Toi, qui aimes tant l'Australie, AVAIS suggéré Alex...Toi,(tu) est le sujet de la phrase. Ai-je raison?

Accepted Answer

Hi Barbara, 
In the case of
... avait suggéré Alex 
the subject and the verb are inverted and Alex is the subject of avait suggéré- third person singular - so 'avait' is correct.
Bonne Continuation!

Answer

is it usual to invert the subject and the verb in this way? avait suggéré Alex

Answer

Hi Kathleen,
With a narrative, it is often a stylistic preference as in English.
Otherwise, the only case I can think of is in interrogative clauses as in Barbara's question -
Ai-je raison? = Am I right? 
Hope this helps!
