ce-ci ceux-ci cela ceux-la (indefinite demonstrative pronoun )

Ce is the impersonal, simple indefinite demonstrative pronoun
ce is also a demonstrative adjective.


It can mean "this" or "it,

used mainly with the verb être,
C'est une bonne idée ! That's a good idea!

Ce may also be followed by devoir or pouvoir + être.
Ce doit être un bon restaurant.
This must be a good restaurant.

In a less common and more formal usage (especially in written French), ce can be used without a verb:
Elle l'a tué, et pour ce elle est condamnée.
She killed him, and therefore/for this she is condemned.


Ceci and cela are used as the subject of all other verbs:

Ceci va être facile.
This is going to be easy.

Cela me fait plaisir.
That makes me happy.


Ceci and cela are used with pouvoir or devoir when those verbs are not followed by être
eci peut nous aider.
This could help us.

Cela doit aller dans la cuisine.
That has to go in the kitchen.


Ceci and cela can also be direct and indirect objects:

Donnez-lui cela de ma part.
Give him this from me.

Qui a fait cela ?
Who did this?


Ceci is the contraction of ce + ici (this + here), while cela is the contraction of ce + là (this + there).


Ceci is rare in spoken French. Just as là commonly replaces ici in spoken French (Je suis là - I'm here), French speakers tend to use cela to mean either "this" or "that." Ceci only really comes into play when one wants to really distinguish between this and that:

Je ne veux pas ceci, je veux cela.
I don't want this, I want that.



Ça is the informal replacement for both cela and ceci.

Je ne veux pas ceci (or ça), je veux ça.
I don't want this, I want that.

French Relative Pronouns Qui, Que, Ou

Qui est-ce qui vs qui est-ce que ?

• French has three interrogative pronouns: qui, que, and lequel, which are used to ask questions.

How to Use 'Qui'
Qui means who or whom; it is used when asking about people.
When who is the subject of the question, you can use either qui or qui est-ce qui. The word order cannot be inverted, and the verb is always third person singular.

Qui veut le faire ? / Qui est-ce qui veut le faire ? > Who wants to do it?

When whom is the object of the question, qui can be followed by either est-ce que or inversion

Qui est-ce que vous aimez ? / Qui aimez-vous ? > Whom do you love?

Qui can also follow a preposition.
    À qui est-ce que tu parles ? / À qui parles-tu ? > To whom are you speaking?
    De qui est-ce que tu dépends ? / De qui dépends-tu ? > Upon whom do you depend?

How to Use 'Que'
Que means what and is used to refer to ideas or things.

When what is the subject of the question, you must use qu'est-ce qui followed by a verb in the third person singular, with no inversion.
    Qu'est-ce qui se passe ? > What's happening?
    Qu'est-ce qui est tombé sur la terre ? > What fell on the ground?


When what is the object of the question, it can be followed by est-ce que or inversion.
    Qu'est-ce qu'il veut ? / Que veut-il ? > What does he want?
    Qu'est-ce que tu penses de mon idée ? / Que penses-tu de mon idée ? > What do you think of my idea?
    Qu'est-ce que c'est (que cela) ? > What is that?

After a preposition, que changes to quoi.
    De quoi est-ce que vous parlez ? / De quoi parlez-vous ? > What are you talking about?
    À quoi est-ce qu'il travaille ? / À quoi travaille-t-il ? > What's he working on?

French Demonstrative Pronouns - Pronoms démonstratifs

Demonstrative pronouns (this one, that one, the one[s], these, those) refer to a previously-mentioned noun in a sentence. They must agree with the gender and number of the noun(s) they replace:

celui - masculine singular
celle - feminine singular
ceux - masculine plural
celles - feminine plural



Each of the four demonstrative pronouns can refer to something nearby or far away. That is, celui and celle can both mean "this one" or "that one," while ceux and celles can both mean "these" or "thos


you can distinguish between this one and that one, these and those by adding -ci (here) and -là (there).

lequel,à + lequel,de + lequel (RELATIVE ADJECTIVE)

Lequel is usually a pronoun, but it can also be a relative adjective. Relative adjectives are placed in front of nouns to indicate a link between that noun and an antecedent (the same noun previously stated or implied)

The basic French relative adjective, lequel, has to agree in gender and number with the noun it modifies. In addition, it contracts with the prepositions à and de



Clarification:

Q. What's the difference between lequel as a relative adjective and lequel as a relative pronoun?

A. The same as the difference between any adjective and pronoun:

The relative adjective precedes a noun: laquelle somme sera...

The relative pronoun replaces a noun: - Avez-vous la clé ? - Laquelle ?


http://french.about.com/od/grammar/a/lequel_2.htm

• Like its English counterpart, a French relative pronoun links a dependent or relative clause to a main clause. 

since  relative pronouns may replace a subject, direct object, indirect object, or preposition,
the French relative pronouns que, qui, lequel, dont, and où.

qui means "who" and que means "that" or "what."
The choice between qui and que as a relative pronoun has nothing to do with the meaning in English, and everything to do with how the word is used


Que replaces the direct object (person or thing) in the dependent clause.
    J'ai acheté le livre. Ma sœur l'a écrit. > J'ai acheté le livre que ma sœur a écrit.
    I bought the book (that) my sister wrote.


Qui replaces the subject (person or thing) in the dependent clause.
Je cherche l'artiste. Il étudie à Paris. > Je cherche l'artiste qui étudie à Paris.
I'm looking for the artist (who is) studying in Paris.


Qui also replaces an indirect object referring to a person* after a preposition,** including prepositions which are required after a given verb or expression.
Je vois une dame. Je travaille avec cette dame.
Je vois une dame avec qui je travaille

Lequel
Lequel or one of its variations replaces an indirect object referring to a thing*
Le livre dans lequel j'ai écrit mon nom... / The book in which I wrote my name.
La ville à laquelle je songe... / The town about which I'm dreaming.

dont vs duquel
How do you know whether to use dont or duquel? You need dont when the preposition is de by itself. You need duquel when de is part of a prepositional phrase, such as près de, à côté de, en face de, etc.

Dont
Dont replaces any person or thing after de:

    Où est le reçu? J'ai besoin du reçu. > Où est le reçu dont j'ai besoin?
    Where is the receipt (that) I need?

Dont can indicate possession:
    Voici l'homme. J'ai trouvé la valise de cet homme. > Voici l'homme dont j'ai trouvé la valise.
    That's the man whose suitcase I found.

Il a écrit trois livres. Deux de ses livres sont des best-sellers. > Il a écrit trois livres, dont deux sont des best-sellers.
He has written three books, two of which are best sellers.


Où
You probably already know that as an interrogative pronoun, où means "where," and that it often means "where" as a relative pronoun as well:

    La boulangerie où j'ai travaillé est à côté de la banque.
    The bakery where I worked is next to the bank. (The bakery [that] I worked at...)

Où can also be used after prepositions.
    Le pays d'où il vient...
    The country (where) he's from..

quand vs où
But as a relative pronoun, où has an additional meaning - it refers to the moment in time something happened: "when." This can be tricky, as French students tend to want to use the interrogative quand here. You can't, because quand is not a relative pronoun. You must use the relative pronoun où

Le moment où nous sommes arrivés...
The moment (that) we arrived.

https://www.thoughtco.com/french-relative-pronouns-1368937

lequel,à + lequel,de + lequel (PRONOUN)

1) Interrogative pronoun: Lequel replaces quel + noun.

Je veux la pomme là-bas. > Laquelle ?
I want the apple over there. > Which one?

je veux le livre là-bas > Lequelle ?
I want the book out there> which one?

Quel livre veux-tu ? > Lequel veux-tu ?
Which book do you want? > Which one do you want?

Je pense à mon frère. > Auquel penses-tu ? [À quel frère...]
I'm thinking about my brother. > Which one are you thinking about?



2) Relative pronoun: Lequel replaces an inanimate object of a preposition. (If the object of the preposition is a person, use qui.)

Le livre dans lequel j'ai écrit...
The book in which I wrote...

La ville à laquelle je songe...
The town about which I'm dreaming...

Le cinéma près duquel j'ai mangé...
The theater near which I ate... / The theater I ate near...

• Lequel, which usually means which

Lequel has four basic forms, because it has to agree in gender and number with the noun it replaces.
In addition, lequel has several contracted forms - like the definite articles le and les, lequel contracts with the prepositions à and de.

Lequel is usually either an interrogative pronoun or a relative pronoun.

1) Interrogative pronoun: Lequel replaces quel + noun.

Quel livre veux-tu ? > Lequel veux-tu ?
Which book do you want? > Which one do you want?

Je veux la pomme là-bas. > Laquelle ?
I want the apple over there. > Which one?

Je pense à mon frère. > Auquel penses-tu ? [À quel frère...]
I'm thinking about my brother. > Which one are you thinking about?

2) Relative pronoun: Lequel replaces an inanimate object of a preposition. (If the object of the preposition is a person, use qui.)

  Le livre dans lequel j'ai écrit...
   The book in which I wrote.

La ville à laquelle je songe...
The town about which I'm dreaming..



Lequel is usually a pronoun, but it can also be a relative adjective. Relative adjectives are placed in front of nouns to indicate a link between that noun and an antecedent (the same noun previously stated or implied). In both English and French, relative adjectives are used mainly in legal, administrative, or other highly-formal language

Il y a cinq témoins, lesquels témoins vont arriver demain.
There are five witnesses, which witnesses will arrive tomorrow.

Passé simple

The passé simple, translated in English as either "simple past" or "preterite," is the literary equivalent of the passé composé, which means that it is used only in formal writing (e.g., historical and literary writing) and very formal speech.

In such writing and speech, the passé simple is used alongside the imperfect, just as in everyday speech/writing, the passé composé and imperfect are used together.

The passé simple (past definite) is used primarily in formal, literary, and historical writings to express a completed past action, event, or situation. In conversation and informal writing, the passé composé is used instead of the passé simple to express the past


In modern spoken French, the passé simple has practically disappeared


While literary and refined language still hangs on to the passé simple, the spoken language has simply renounced passé simple for the passe composé, which means that in French, there is no longer a nuance between:
« Je suis arrivé. » ("I have arrived." I have come to town. I may have just arrived.)
« J'arrivai. » ("I arrived." I came to town, but it is possible that I am not still here.)

Do Androids dream of electric sheep? by Philip K. Dicks

Kerry Shale reads Philip K Dick's 1968 classic tale of a world devastated by war and six rogue androids at large.



I love bladerunner(1982).It's an amazing movie.But after listening to his audiobook I think it might have been done much better.There's a lot to tell of this book.Rick Deckard is married,who's not in the movie.Deckard wants to bed with Rachel,the android.Normally Richard has an electric sheep but later decides to have a real pet goat.He starts to empathizes with androids and wants to leave his job,bount android hunter.His wife does not want him to.Lubaluft the opera singer,who's shown a snake female dancer in the movie,and Deckard is even taken to police station which is totally controlled by androids.Problem is nobody knows that station.Bladerunner movie seems to have trimmed most of the book's story.

The Ice Princess (Patrik Hedström #1) by Camilla Läckberg

What's exciting is that all story goes around a small town in which almost everybody knows each other.There is not much to hide.If you lived in a million of city who would care what you live? It is like people agreed on a shared disturbing secrets.You can't even wash your dirty bag in the town you have to go abroad and handle it and come back.and play your part as if nothing's happened.you can't even burry your dirt in your own yard.but others'.You feel safer when you live in a crowded town but if you live in small towns you feel you are more open to danger.Whatever you do quickly gets attention it is like you are under a town microscope.and this makes commiting crime more difficult.I guess.more complex and hard to find.murderer must be more smart.
