Questions & Answers about C'est le partenaire avec qui tu vas bien t'entendre.

Why is it avec qui instead of putting avec at the end of the sentence like in English?
In French, you can never end a sentence or a clause with a preposition. When a relative clause refers to a person and requires a preposition (like avec, pour, or à), you must put the preposition right before qui. The French structure is literally 'the partner with whom'.
Why is there a t' before entendre?
It comes from the reflexive verb s'entendre, which means 'to get along'. Because the subject doing the getting along is tu, the reflexive pronoun must match it, becoming te (which shortens to t' before a vowel). The pronoun goes right before the infinitive it belongs to.
Why is bien placed between vas and t'entendre?
When you have a conjugated verb followed by an infinitive (like vas + t'entendre here), short or common adverbs like bien, mal, or déjà are typically placed directly between the two verbs.
The translation says 'He is...', so why does the French sentence start with C'est instead of Il est?
When identifying a person using a modified noun (a noun that has an article like le, un, or mon in front of it), you must use C'est. You would only use Il est or Elle est if it were followed by a bare profession or adjective, like in the phrase Il est partenaire.
