Que and Qui'Qu'est que' or 'qu'est qui' marche le mieux ? I find this difficult to understand. This lesson says that Qui is used when the following word is a verb. That's not the case in the example given. How might I understand this more clearly, please? Thanks.

Haïr - what is the correct punctuation?

Bescherelle punctuates haïr in the passé simple as: je haïs, tu haïs, il haït, etc., whereas you insist on: j'hais, tu hais, il hais, etc. Can they both be correct?

rendez-vous vs. reunion

Quelle est la difference entre: "un rendez-vous" et "une reunion" ?

Je pense qu'"un rendez-vous" = "an appointment" and "une reunion" = "meeting".

Est-ce que c'est juste ?
