Questions & Answers about Ces tomates sont pour toi.
Why is it ces and not ce or cette?
Does ces mean "these" or "those"?
Why does the sentence use toi instead of tu for "you"?
In French, you must use a stressed pronoun (like toi, moi, or lui) after a preposition like pour (for). Tu is a subject pronoun, so it is only used when "you" are the one doing the action, like in tu es (you are).
