QUESTIONS
Most beginners have doubts about how to ask questions, or what word they should to use. Let's review questions in Spanish.
- Qué (What): we going to use "Qué" to ask about the definition of something: ¿Qué es "un perro"? (What is a dog?) Es un animal mamífero con 4 patas, etc. (It is a mammal, with four legs, etc.)
Or: ¿Qué estudias? (What do you study?) ¿Qué quieres comer? (What do you want to eat?)
Note: we never ask with "Qué", What's your name? or what is your favorite color?, for these questions we use Cuál.
- Cuál (Which) Cuáles (Plural): we use "Cuál" when we have options, and you can choose between them. For example: ¿Cuál te gusta más, el sueter rojo o el azul? (Which do you like better, the red sweater or the blue?) ¿Cuáles son tus actores favoritos? (Who are your favorite actors?) And always: ¿Cuál es tu nombre? (What's your name?)
- De dónde (From where): with "De dónde" we are asking for the origin or the nationality of a person, or where something was made. For example: ¿De dónde es Juan? (Where is Juan from?) Juan es de Chile (or Juan es chileno). ¿De dónde es la milanesa? (Where is "the milanesa"from?) La milanesa es de Italia (or: es italiana)
- Dónde (Where): is used for location. ¿Dónde está el gato? (where is the cat?) El gato está debajo de la mesa. (The cat is under the table) ¿Dónde está Madrid? (Where is Madrid?) Madrid está en España (Madrid is in Spain).
- A dónde: is to ask with verbs that indicate movement: ¿A dónde vas los domingos? (Where do you go on Saturdays?) ¿ A dónde se mudó Federico? (Where did Juan move?) ¿A dónde viajaron el año pasado? (Where did they travel last year?)
- Cuánto (how much): ¿Cuánto cuesta/n……? (How much is it?)
- Cuántos/as (how many): ¿Cuántos estudiantes vinieron? (How many students came?)
Note: always, ¿Cuántos años tienes? (How old are you?)
- Cuán: we use "Cuán" when we want to ask about the amount of an adjective. For example: ¿Cuán lindo es Brad Pitt? (How cute is Brad Pitt?) ¿Cuán grande es Brasil? (How big is Brasil?)
- Cuándo (When): We are asking for a date. ¿Cuándo fuiste a China? (When did you go to China?) ¿Cuándo vas a venir a visitarme? (When are you going to come to visit me?)
- Por qué (Why): We use "Por qué" to ask about the reason of something. ¿Por qué no me contaste sobre tu boda? (Why didn't you tell me about your wedding?) Porque aún no tengo la fecha (Because I don't have the date yet).
- Cómo (How): we are asking for a physical description, psychic description or a mental state description. ¿Cómo es Julián? (What's Julian like/look like) Julian es alto, rubio, un poco arrogante, pero muy inteligente (Julian is tall, blond, a little arrogant, but very intelligent). ¿Cómo está Julián? (How is Julián?) Julián está bien, pero últimamente está muy cansado porque trabaja mucho. (Julián is fine, but lately he is very tired because he is working a lot)
- Quién (Who)/Quiénes (Plural): I'm asking for the subject. ¿Quién es tu mejor amigo? (Who is your best friend?) Es Ricardo (Is Richard). ¿Quién descubrió América? (Who discovered America?) Cristobal Colón descubrió América (Cristobal Colón discovered America). ¿Quiénes son tus estudiantes? (Who are your students?) John, Matt and Claire son mis estudiantes. (John, Matt and Claire are my students)
Note: we never use Yo in the spanish phrases because the verb included the person, with exception of the question WHO. ¿Quién habla español? YO hablo español.

| There Is a Power Greater Than Ours Posted: 22 Oct 2010 12:00 AM PDT "Recognize that there is a power greater than ours, that no matter how good a man is, he is not good enough, that no matter how wise he is, he is not wise enough, that no matter how strong he is, he is not strong enough for all of the things which he will face in life, and that there is a source of power to which he can go with the assurance that he will be listened to and that there will be a response."
