Comprends-tu?

Please excuse my poor French (WOCAB). I was hoping to have forgotten
it *all* but some seems to have clung to a neuron somewhere.

If I recall correctly,
(Doh! Where did that SEND button come from?)
....... ca is "that" whereas ce is "it"?
-------------------------
"Qu'est-ce que c'est?" - What is it?
"Ca?" - That?
"C'est un chien." It's a dog
"Un chien? Ah oui, il est beau, n'est-ce pas?" - A dog? Oh yes,
it's beautiful, isn't it?
-----------------------------------------------
Ca should have a cedilla (spelling?) under the C. Here, the
unidentified object was refered to using ce and ca. As soon as we
knew what it was, and a noun had been used, we changed to using the
pronoun "il".
I could be talking cobblers though. It's an awful long time since I
flunked my French A-level!
