✕Common Mistakes
Qui as‑tu parlé avec ?
In French the interrogative "qui" should not be placed before the verb when using "avec"; either invert the whole phrase or put "qui" at the end.
T'as parlé à qui ?
While grammatically possible, "parler à" changes the nuance to "talk to" rather than "talk with"; for a peer‑to‑peer conversation "avec" is preferred.

Tu as discuté avec qui ?
You discussed with who?
Cultural Tip
In French, dropping the subject pronoun and using contractions like "t'as" is a hallmark of spoken, informal language. In formal contexts you would keep the full form "Tu as" and often invert the verb and subject ("Avec qui as‑tu parlé ?"). Also, placing "qui" at the end is common in spoken questions but sounds awkward in writing.
