I think I've finally gotten the "ce qui" vs "ce que" vs. "qui/e" down, but I'm utterly confused about when "quoi" is used. When I see "what is," I invariably think "quoi," but I'm usually wrong. The best rule I've determined is to use "quoi" with an infinitive, "je ne sais pas quoi faire," but is that really it for "quoi"? Thanks!

Relative Prepositions Similarity

In the other lessons, i saw that "De qui" "Qui" "Dont" "Lequel" and "Duquel" are having the same literal meanings in the English translation. Can, you explain this briefly?

Eg. Le garçon à côté de qui tu es assise a de beaux yeux.

Eg. Voici les amis au sujet desquels nous sommes inquiets.

Eg. Le garçon dont tu parles est très gentil.

Eg. La fille derrière qui je suis assis est belle.

All of them means "Whom' may i know why? and all of them seem so complicated while they literally mean the same.

Un évènement ?

My translate app keeps correcting un évènement to un événement. I used the latter in this exercise and the result was that my answer matched, when it did not. Please explain which is correct. Thank you.

lui et leur

In the second sentence, the conversation has "lui" although it is hard to distinguish "lui" from "leur" with the speaker's intonation. For the remainder of the conversation, the conversation has "leur" when referring to the recipient(s) of the gift. While I can get the difference after listening for multiple times, I still find it strange that the two are not consistent.

We can take a walk in the park

Hi -

I was trying to work out how you would say 'if the weather is good, we can take a walk in the park'. From the above it looks I can either use Se Promener or Faire une Promenade, but im not sure how to combine these with Pouvoir. I assume using 'Faire' it would be:

-s'il fait beau, nous pouvons faire une promenade dans le parc.

1) Is this correct?

2) Is there a way of saying this using the reflexive verb/conjugation with se promoner?

Thank you :)
