Le film que je regarde est intéressant

We know that we can use qui or que to ask a question. Like qui, we can also use que in a sentence, and it means that.

Le sac que tu portes est lourd.
The bag that you’re carrying is heavy.​
J’achète le cadeau que mon fils veut.​
I’m buying the present that my son wants.​

Sometimes, it is difficult to decide between qui and que, especially when both mean that! A helpful tip is that the word qui is followed by a verb, while que is not.

Ce livre est à moi

The expression être à means to belong to.

Cette maison est à Pierre.
This house belongs to Pierre.​
Ce stylo est à toi.
This pen belongs to you.​

À quoi sert cet objet ?

Servir à followed by a verb means to be used for.

Cet appareil sert à prendre des photos.
This device is used for taking pictures.​
Cette pédale sert à accélérer.
This pedal is used for accelerating.​
