Relative Pronouns

Relative pronouns join sentences together.  These words signal a relative clause which explains the noun called the antecedent.  When there is no specific antecedent, ce is added as an artificial one.  But it can refer to only things, not people.  If the relative pronoun is the subject of the clause, use qui.  If the relative pronoun is the direct object of the clause, use que.  If the verb of the dependent clause requires the preposition de, use dont.  If the antecedent is a place or time, use oł.

C'est ce que je disais. That's what I said. no antecedent
Je mange des choses qui sont bonnes. I eat things that are good. qui is subject
Je mange des chose que j'aime. I eat things that I like. que is object
Voici ce dont j'ai besoin. Here is what I need. avoir besoin is followed by de
C'est un restaurant on sert les poissons. It's a restaurant where they serve fish. restaurant is a place
