LES PRONOMS
RELATIFS COMPOSES
French Relative
Pronouns
Just like in English, the French relative pronouns
are words like “who,” “which,” or “that” which
are used to introduce a relative clause.
They help to join parts into a single sentence by
replacing a subject, a direct object, or an object
of a preposition. Let's take a look at the following
examples:
Examples
Des emEmples
I bought a house. This house has three rooms.
I bought a house which has three rooms.
This is a bike. The bike was stolen.
This is a bike that was stolen.
They sell a dress. I dream about the dress they
sell.
They sell a dress about which I dream.
This is a city. I live in this city.
This is a city where I live.
Using Relative Pronouns
• In order to pick the proper French pronoun, you
will need to know a few details about its
grammatical role. In brief, the choice of a French
relative pronoun depends on:
• Whether it replaces a subject, a direct object, or
an object of a preposition.
• What is the gender and number of the person or
thing that the pronoun refers to (antecedent).
• Whether the antecedent represents a human.
List of French Relative
Pronouns
As Relative Pronoun
Lequel replaces an inanimate object of a preposition.
If the object of the preposition is a person, use qui.)
Le livre dans lequel j'ai écrit...
The book in which I wrote...
La personne à qui j’ai parlé
The person to whom I spoke…
La ville à laquelle je songe...
The town about which I'm dreaming...
L’amie à qui je songe…
The friend about whom I’m dreaming…
Le cinéma près duquel j'ai mangé...
The theater near which I ate... / The theater I ate near...
Pronoms Relatifs
• Lequel or one of its variations replaces an indirect
object referring to a thing* after a preposition,**
including prepositions which are required after a
given verb or expression.
*If the object of the preposition is a person, you
need qui.
***How do you know whether to use dont or
duquel? You need dont when the preposition is de
by itself. You need duquel when de is part of a
prepositional phrase, such as près de, à côté de,
en face de, etc.
Des exEmples
• "Le voyage dont je rêve"
– parce que on dit "rêver de“
– mais comme ce verbe peut aussi s'employer
avec "à“
– "Le voyage auquel je rêve" est aussi correct.
• Au contraire:
– Le voyage "auquel" je me souviens" est
incorrect
– car "se souvenir de" s'emploie toujours avec
"de“
– Il faut donc dire:
• “Le voyage dont je me souviens" .
