✕Common Mistakes
Tu penses que de la nouvelle chanson de cette célébrité ?
‘Que’ is used before a verb (e.g., ‘Que penses‑tu…’). After the verb, the informal spoken form uses ‘quoi’.
Tu penses quoi de de la nouvelle chanson de cette célébrité ?
The preposition ‘de’ already introduces the object of opinion; adding another ‘de’ before ‘nouvelle chanson’ is redundant.

Cultural Tip
The ‘penses quoi’ construction is typical of spoken French, especially among younger speakers. In written or formal French you’d replace it with ‘Qu’est‑ce que tu penses de…’ or ‘Quel est ton avis sur…’. Also, remember that ‘célébrité’ can refer to singers, actors, or any public figure, so the context matters.
