Pense à tout ce qui fait du bien et détend-toi: dans ce phrase qui est le fonction de "du"?
J'ai bien compris l'usage de "tout ce qui", mais je pensais que l'on ne pouvait "visiter" que des lieux, pas des personnes.
Does Tout ce dont also have the same meanings - [everything that/ all that], or is there any additional meaning to it?? Please confirm. Also a few examples would be great.
'anything that' is also an additional meaning?
(of course that the context will differ with the inclusion of de in 'tout ce dont', than 'tout ce qui' and 'tout ce que')
The listing of all of the cases can mislead people that may not have done previous lessons; either assume people know the difference between qui and que and cut out the listing or assume they don't and shine a light on:
(Tout ce) qui = Subject of the following verb
(Tout ce) que = Object of the following verb
Title. Trying to figure out if you must have the "ce" or if there are situations where it is not present.
Can I suggest that in this part of the lesson:
Tout ce qui = all/everything that...Use tout ce qui when the pronoun qui is followed by a verb or an object/reflexive pronoun (as opposed to a subject pronoun -je/tu/il/elle/on/nous/vous/ils/elles - or a noun): You replace the list of subject pronouns with a list of object pronouns. You repeat the list of subject pronouns under 'que'.
when is tout used rather than full tout ce qui/que?
In the above sentence why is it "pense" à but then "détends"-toi. Since it's the tu form, why isn't it "Penses à"
Thanks for your help.
I thought subject pronouns ("vous" in this case) would make it "ce que"?
The rule I've been using before was if it's a verb/reflexive then it's ce qui and if it's a noun/pronoun then it's ce que, yet here we see "ce qui" followed by "vous". Super confused, sorry if this is obvious
