Many phrases:

And many, many more
Welcome to the forum!
The dictionary here has some good examples of sentences using "que".
I suppose it is used most often as a comparative conjunction or a relative pronoun.
Hola!!
I like to think of the word "que" as the word "that". ![]()
I think you're crazy - Creo que eres loco
You see, in English, the phrase "I think you're crazy" can be understood either as "I think you're crazy" or as "I think that you're crazy". However, in Spanish, the "que" is needed in order for that phrase to be grammatically correct.
The word "que" is also verrrry important when you get the subjunctive mood.
¡Espero que usted gane! - I hope that you (formal) win!
Es importante que escuches al maestro - It's important that you (familiar) listen to the teacher.
And, of course, we cannot forget about "qué", which is an interrogative that means "what".
¿Qué dijo? - What did you (formal) say?
¿Qué pasó? - What happened?
Que has soooo many uses. I recommend going to the reference section and reading about all the different uses and meanings of "que" and also go look it up in the dictionary.
