Vocabulary and transcripts for this lessons
Key learning points
- In most of mainland Spain the 'c' in 'ce' and 'ci' is pronounced as in the 'th' of the English 'throw'.
- 'Cuánto' agrees with the noun in gender and number when it is used as an adjective: cuánto, cuánta, cuántos, cuántas.
- 'Cuál' and 'quién' are pronouns. They stand alone or appear before a verb.
- 'Cuál' refers to a singular noun and 'cuáles' refers to a plural noun.
- 'Quién' refers to one person and 'quiénes' refers to more than one person.
Keywords
Interrogative adjective - a question word that appears before a noun; in Spanish this includes 'cuánto' (how much)
Interrogative pronoun - a question word that replaces a noun; in Spanish this includes 'cuál' (which) and 'quién' (who)
Common misconception
'Cuál' and 'cuáles' may appear directly before a noun.
'Cuál' and 'cuáles' may not appear directly before a noun. As they are pronouns, they either stand alone or appear before a verb.
