Lesson 61: Interrogative Adverbs.

Il n'est pire eau que l'eau qui dort. Still waters run deep.

The order of a sentence beginning with an interrogative adverb (pourquoi, où, quand, comment, etc.), is the regular order used in asking a question in French (Lesson 5).

Pourquoi votre frère est-il si malheureux ?

Why is your brother so unhappy?

Quand ma mère est-elle partie? When did my mother leave?

A quelle heure la vôtre est-elle arrivée chez elle ?

At what time did yours get home?

An interrogative lequel, laquelle, etc., in the objective case, requires the same order.

Lesquels de ses chiens votre frère a-t-il perdus ?

Which (ones) of his dogs has your brother lost?

After où with the verb in a simple tense, the subject is not usually repeated in the form of a pronoun.

But

Où est l'église dont vous parliez tout à l'heure ?

Where is the church of which you were just now speaking?

Où demeurent vos amis ? Where do your friends live?

Où vos amis sont-ils allés? or, Vos amis où sont-ils allés?

Composite Subject.

When a verb has two or more subjects of

different grammatical persons, they are usually summed up by nous or vous, with which the verb agrees.1

Ma mère et moi, nous sommes allés chez vous.

My mother and I went to your house.

Mon frère et vous, vous êtes partis à cinq heures précises.

My brother and you started at exactly five o'clock.

Lui et moi, nous le verrons demain.

He and I shall see him to-morrow.

1 If the nous or vous is omitted, the verb agrees with whichever pronoun is

understood.

Monsieur, Madame, Mademoiselle. -As a mark of respect, the words monsieur, madame, mademoiselle, or their plurals, are placed before the adjective votre or vos followed by père, mère, frère, sœur, oncle, cousin, ami, etc., or their plurals.

J'ai rencontré monsieur votre père et madame votre mère.
