Uses of interrogative pronouns Qué and Cuál.
| Why "¿Cuál árbol es más grande?" is wrong? In fact, the correct way to use cual/que is: "Qué árbol es más grande?", because "cuál" or its plural form, "cuáles" is never followed by a noun. So, whenever we need to use a noun, the right interrogative pronoun will be "qué". Let's see how it works: The sentence: "¿Qué libro prefieres?" Here, we have the noun "libro", so we need to use "qué". If we want to ommit the noun, we'd say: ¿Cuál prefieres? The plural form for "qué" does not change: "¿Qué libros prefieres?" but the plural for "cuál" is "cuáles: "¿Cuáles prefieres?" Finally, never forget interrogative pronouns always take an accent.
