Bonjour

J'ai <u>une copine</u> qui est française.

<em>the relative pronoun </em><em>qui</em><em> replaces "une copine" to introduce the relative clause.</em>

<em>Qui </em><em>replaces </em><em>the subject</em><em> of the verb "est" and stands for "une copine". It's the same as "</em><em>who"</em>

C'est <u>le livre</u> qu'il va acheter.

<em>The relative pronoun is "</em><em>que</em><em>" changed in "qu' " because  the following noun begins with a vowel "il". It replaces </em><em>the direct object</em><em> of the sentence.</em>

<em>il va acheter quoi ? le livre.</em>

<em>QUI </em><em> ► </em><u><em>subject of the relative clause. </em></u>

<em>QUE </em><em> ► </em><em>  </em><u><em>direct object of the relative clause.</em></u>

-

<em>Both replaces the name just before the pronoun... we call this noun in French = l'antécédent.</em>

<em>They avoid a repetition of this noun.</em>

-

<em>EX:</em>

<em>Mon ami est arrivé. Mon ami est anglais</em>

<u><em>Mon ami</em></u><em> qui est arrivé, est anglais. </em><em>Mon ami subject of "est"</em>

<em>-</em>

<em>J'ai vu une maison. Elle est très jolie.</em>

<em>La maison que j'ai vue, est très jolie.  </em><em>la maison direct object of "j'ai vue" (so the past particple agrees with the direct object because it's before the verb...)</em>

Hope this helps ☺☺☺

Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

Regional

There are three sub-levels of governance in France: the Regions (régions), the Departments (départements) and the Municipalities (communes). They are not bestowed with legislative powers. They exercise their functions by means of regulations for some fields and through the execution of their budget.

Explanation:

The school council is responsible for overseeing and making decisions that pertain to academic regulations, parent-teacher communication, what children eat at la cantine, provisions for post-school care, organization of extracurricular activities and school security.
