Question

Complétez par un pronom relatif simple ou composé : Le spectacle ___________ j'ai assisté était incroyable.

Hint:

To select the correct compound relative pronoun, always match the gender and number of the antecedent:
• Masculine Singular: auquel (à + lequel)
• Feminine Singular: à laquelle
• Masculine Plural: auxquels (à + lesquels)
• Feminine Plural: auxquelles (à + lesquelles)

Answer 1

Step 1: Identifying the Verbal Regimen:
We examine the verb inside the subordinate relative clause: j'ai assisté (from assister). In French, the verb assister meaning “to attend to witness” requires the preposition à (i.e., assister à quelque chose).

Step 2: Selecting the Grammatical Pronoun:
Because the preposition is à and the antecedent is an inanimate noun (le spectacle, masculine singular), we must use a compound relative pronoun contracted with à.
• Base compound pronoun for masculine singular: lequel
• Contraction: $\text{à} + \text{lequel} \rightarrow$ auquel

Step 3: Verification:
Putting it together: Le spectacle auquel j'ai assisté était incroyable. (The show which I attended was amazing). This is syntactically flawless.
Final Answer: auquel
