In Spanish, “what” has two different words: qué and cuál. This can get a little confusing, but an easy way to remember it is that qué has only one factual answer possible. You use cuál to ask about a personal opinion or a choice between options. Cuál is a bit closer to “which” in some cases.

Here are some examples: ¿Qué haces ahora? – “What are you doing right now?” ¿Qué es esto? – “What’s that?” ¿Cuál es tu favorito? – “Which is your favourite?” ¿Cuál es tu película favorita? – “What is your favourite movie?”07/10/20
