Q

A quién / A quiénes

A

(To) Whom

To ask the name of a person who is the recipient of an action (as the direct object of the verb), use “Whom?”, as in the sentence “Whom do you love?” The personal a must be included before the interrogative pronoun ¿quién? (or ¿quiénes? if you suspect that the answer involves more than one name).

To ask the name of a person who is the indirect recipient of an action (expressed as the object of a preposition), use the preposition a (“to”), as in the sentence “To whom are you writing?” The preposition a (“to”) must be
included before the interrogative pronoun ¿quién? (or ¿quiénes?).

Q

De quién / De quiénes

A

Whose

In English, to identify the owner of something, you ask “Whose?” In Spanish, use the phrase ¿De quién? (or ¿De quiénes? if you think that the answer involves more than one name). In simple questions, the phrase—usually followed by a form of ser—is uncomplicated.

138
Q

Pero

A

Pero is a conjunction that is used in a second clause to make a contrast or make a limitation to the idea expressed in the previous clause. Have a look at these examples:

Le gusta jugar al fútbol pero prefiere el baloncesto.

139
Q

Sino

A

Sino is also a conjunction, we use it to correct what has been said in the first part of the sentence. In the first part of the sentence there is always a negative element and after sino we substitute that element for another.

Pablo no habla español sino portugués.

Notice how in all the examples above first there is a negative part of the sentence and the second part introduced by sino substitutes the negative element from the first part.

140
Q

Sino que…

A

In all the examples above with sino, the verb in the second part of the sentence is omitted because it is the same verb as in the first part so we do not need to mention it again:

Esta noche no vamos al cine sino [vamos] al teatro.
Tonight we are not going to the cinema but [we are going] to the theatre.

If we need a different conjugated verb in the second clause after sino, then we need to add “que” after sino.
