Understanding Spanish questions Phrases

Master the art of asking questions in Spanish. From basic information questions to complex inquiries, learn question words (qué, cómo, dónde, cuándo, por qué, quién), proper grammar structures, and natural question patterns.

When to Use These Phrases

Questions in Spanish use inverted question marks at the start (¿) and maintain question word order. Voice rises at the end for yes/no questions. In casual speech, questions can use statement word order with rising intonation.

Learning Tips for questions Phrases

  • Learn the 7 key question words: qué, cómo, dónde, cuándo, por qué, quién, cuál
  • Remember: question words always have accent marks (¿cómo?)
  • Yes/no questions often just add ¿? to statements: "¿Hablas inglés?"
  • Tag questions use "¿verdad?" "¿no?" or "¿cierto?" at the end

Frequently Asked Questions About Spanish questions Phrases

What are the basic question words in Spanish?

The main question words are: ¿Qué? (What?), ¿Cómo? (How?), ¿Dónde? (Where?), ¿Cuándo? (When?), ¿Por qué? (Why?), ¿Quién/Quiénes? (Who?), ¿Cuál/Cuáles? (Which?), ¿Cuánto/a/os/as? (How much/many?).

How do you form yes/no questions in Spanish?

Add ¿? to a statement with rising intonation: "¿Hablas español?" (Do you speak Spanish?). Or invert subject and verb: "¿Tienes tiempo?" (Do you have time?). In casual speech, just raise your voice at the end of a statement.

What's the difference between "¿Qué?" and "¿Cuál?" in Spanish?

"¿Qué?" asks for definitions or explanations: "¿Qué es esto?" (What is this?). "¿Cuál?" asks for selection or choice: "¿Cuál prefieres?" (Which do you prefer?). Before nouns, use "qué": "¿Qué libro?" not "¿Cuál libro?".
