Question 16

what is the rule for the use of “que” as a linking word?

e.g. Vous voulez qu’on vous remarque. / Je veux que tu manges.

Answer 16

when one action depends on another subject doing something, French requires a connector → “que” + new subject + verb

(like “you want someone to do something”)

🧠 Rule of thumb

If the subject doesn’t change, use the infinitive (e.g. vouloir manger)
* I want to eat. (same subject) → Je veux manger.
* You want to be noticed. → Vous voulez être remarqué.

If the subject changes, use que + new subject + verb
* I want you to eat. (new subject) → Je veux que tu manges.
* You want people to notice you. → Vous voulez qu’on vous remarque.
