Bonjour a tout le monde,

Can you please tell me if this is correct? I'm trying to describe two pictures.

Le homme donne un cadeaux à sa femme. Elle est très hereause.=The man is giving a present to his wife. She is very happy.

Voilà cinq étudiants qu'ils sont heureux parce qu'ils viennet de recovir des cadeaux=There are five students that are happy because they have just received some presents

Merci beaucoup

Thank you very much

Also, is "qui sont" the same thing as "qu'ils sont"?

Thank you

Regards

Hi...

No it's quite different.
qui sont : who are...
qu'ils sont : that they are...

You could use as it :
The strange men that they are...
Les hommes étranges qu'ils sont
but
The men who are strange ...
Les hommes qui sont étranges ...

Is this understandable ?

Regards.
