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" (m) and "celle" (f).
