GENERAL INFO

Ceux means "those" or "the ones." It is a masculine plural demonstrative pronoun, replacing a previously mentioned noun.

USAGE

It refers to masculine plural nouns and is often followed by `qui`, `que`, or `de` to add specificity.

Example: "J'aime les films, surtout ceux de science-fiction." (I like films, especially *those* of science fiction.)

TRAPS

Do not confuse ceux (a pronoun, stands alone) with `ces` (a demonstrative adjective, always precedes a noun: "ces livres"). Remember its feminine equivalent is `celles`, and the singular forms are `celui` (masculine) and `celle` (feminine).
