cuánto (with written accent) means how much. I'ts only used with written accent in questions. Ex: ¿Cuánto es? -How much is it? or ¿Cuánto te debo? -How much do I ow you?
cuanto (whit out written accent) is and adverb and has multiple meanings, like "cuanto antes" (as soon as possible); en cuanto a ( as for);cuanto quieras (as much as you like).
The same happends with cuándo y cuando.
¿Cuándo? with written accent means When? ¿Cuándo vienes? ¿When are you comming?
Cuando without written accent is and adverb.
Ex: cuando quieras - whenever you want
aún cuando = even if
cuando mucho = at the most
de vez en cuando = from time to time
cuarto = the fourth (es el cuarto día -is the fourth day)
cuarto =the bedroom (es el cuarto de los chicos - Is the kids room)
cuarto = a quarter kilo - un cuarto kilo
cuarto creciente = start quarter
cuarto menguante = last quarter
cuatro = four (cuatro dias - four days)
Cuantro and cuardo aren't Spanish words
You make me work so hard! :p
