Qui est-ce qui

Why was qui est-ce qui not correct? Qui was the correct answer. I thought the two were interchangeable and both correct?

Thanks

Bonjour Neal,

Look at the following examples and where ‘tu’ is in the question:

- qui – tu = subject

Qui regardes-tu comme ça? = who are you looking at?

Attention:

Qui est-ce que tu regardes comme ça? = who are you looking at like that?

- Qui = qui est-ce qui - te = direct object

Qui te regarde comme ça ? = who looks at you like that?

Qui est-ce qui te regarde comme ça ? = who looks at you like that?

I hope this is helpful.

Bonne journée !
