Question: what is the difference between que and quoi in french?
Answer: Quoi only appears in questions as the second word, directly after the preposition. Typical prepositions are de, à, sur, sous, en, pour (in this case, both words are written together in pourquoi). ... When the words mean "what" (interrogative adjective), "que" is used at the start of the sentence and "quoi" everywhere else.
