1. ADVERB

1) (in direct and indirect questions, reported speech)

You can usually use cómo to translate how in questions as well as after report verbs and verbs of (un)certainty and doubt (e.g. no sé):
cómo
how did you do it? — ¿cómo lo hiciste?

how can that be? — ¿cómo puede ser eso?

how are you? — ¿cómo estás?, ¿cómo or qué tal te va? (LAm) *, ¿qué tal (estás)? (Sp) *

how old are you? — ¿cuántos años tienes?

how fast can it go? — ¿a qué velocidad puede ir?

how soon can you be ready? — ¿cuánto tardas en prepararte?

how soon can you come? — ¿cuándo puedes venir?

you don't know how difficult it is — no sabes lo difícil que es

I didn't know how expensive the tickets were — no sabía lo caras que eran las entradas

they've been telling me how well you did in your exams — ya me han hablado de lo bien que hiciste los exámenes

how long have you been here? — ¿cuánto tiempo llevas aquí?
how many
how many are there? — ¿cuántos hay?

how many cartons of milk did you buy? — ¿cuántos cartones de leche has comprado?

how often
how often do you go? — ¿con qué frecuencia vas?
else
2) (in other statements)

this is how you do it — así es como se hace

that was how I came to meet him — así es como lo conocí

I'll do it how I like — lo haré como me parezca

1. PRONOUN

1) (in direct and indirect questions, reported speech)

I don't know which to choose — no sé cuál escoger

tell me which you like best — dime cuáles te gustan más

I don't mind which — no me importa cuál

2) (relative)

a) (replacing noun)
In relative clauses where which defines the noun it refers to, you can usually translate it as que. Note that in this type of sentence which can be substituted by that in English: que

it's an illness which causes nerve damage — es una enfermedad que daña los nervios

do you remember the house which we saw last week? — ¿te acuerdas de la casa que vimos la semana pasada?

the bear which I saw — el oso que vi
If [which] is the object of a preposition, you can either translate it as [que] (usually preceded by the definite article) or as article + [cual]/[cuales]. Use the second option particularly in formal language or after long prepositions or prepositional phrases:

the cities to which we are going — las ciudades a las que or more frm a las cuales vamos

he explained the means by which we could achieve our objective — explicó los medios a través de los cuales podíamos alcanzar nuestro objetivo
If instead of defining the noun the [which] clause merely adds additional information, you can translate [which] using either [que] or article + [cual]/[cuales]:
the oak dining-table, which was a present from my father, seats 10 people comfortably — la mesa de roble, que or la cual fue un regalo de mi padre, admite cómodamente diez comensales

b) (replacing clause)
When which refers to the whole of a preceding sentence or idea, translate as lo que or lo cual:

it rained hard which upset her — llovió mucho, lo que or lo cual le disgustó

they left early, which my wife did not like at all — se marcharon pronto, lo cual or lo que no agradó nada a mi mujer
After a preposition only [lo cual] can be used:
• after which we went to bed — después de lo cual nos acostamos

• from which we deduce that... — de lo cual deducimos que...

2. ADJECTIVE

1) (in direct and indirect questions, reported speech)
When which is used as an interrogative adjective, translate using qué + noun when the possibilities are very open or cuál/cuáles de + article + plural noun when the possibilities are limited: qué
which house do you live in? — ¿en qué casa vives?

which day are they coming? — ¿qué día vienen?

I don't know which tie he wants — no sé qué corbata quiere

which picture do you prefer? — ¿qué cuadro prefieres?, ¿cuál de los cuadros prefieres?

In direct and indirect questions
► In direct and indirect questions as well as after expressions of (un)certainty and doubt (e.g. no sé), translate who using quién/quiénes w hen it is the subject of a verb:
Who broke the window? ¿Quién rompió la ventana?
She had no idea who her real parents were Ignoraba quiénes eran sus verdaderos padres ► When who/ whom is the object of a verb or preposition, translate using quién/quiénes p receded by personal a or another preposition as relevant:
Who(m) did you call? ¿A quién llamaste?
Who(m) is she going to marry? ¿Con quién se va a casar?
You must tell me who you are going to go out with Tienes que decirme con quién/quiénes vas a salir
In exclamations
► Translate using quién/quiénes w ith an accent as in the interrogative form:
Who would have thought it! ¡Quién lo hubiera pensado!
As relative
► When who/ whom follows the noun it refers to, the most common translation is que:
Do you recognize the three girls who have just come in? ¿Reconoces a las tres chicas que acaban de entrar?
Peter, who was at the match, has told me all about it Peter, que estuvo en el partido, me lo ha contado todo
That man (who(m)) you saw wasn't my father El hombre que viste no era mi padre NOTE: Personal a is not used before que.
"Who" as subject of a verb
► When who is the subject, que can sometimes be substituted by el cual/ la cual or quien (singular) and los cuales/ las cuales or quienes (plural). This can help avoid ambiguity:
I bumped into Ian and Sue, who had just come back from Madrid Me encontré con Ian y con Sue, la cual or quien acababa de regresar de Madrid ► Only que is possible in cases where subject who can be substituted by that, i.e. where who defines the person in question and the sentence does not make sense if you omit the who clause:
The little boy who won the cycle race is Sarah's nephew El niñito que ganó la carrera ciclista es el sobrino de Sarah
"Who(m)" as object of a verb or preposition
► When who (m) is the object of a verb, you can translate it using que as above. Alternatively, especially in formal language, use personal a + quien/ quienes or personal a + ((article)) + cual/ cuales {etc} or personal a + ((article)) + que:
The woman (who or whom) you're describing is my music teacher La señora que or a quien or a la cual or a la que describes es mi profesora de música
"Who(m)" as object of a preposition
► After prepositions, you should usually use que or cual preceded by the article or quien:
This is the girl (who or whom) I talked to you about esta es la chica de la que or de la cual or de quien te hablé For further uses and examples, see who, whom
