What is the difference between qué and cuál?

Question

Answer

Qué = what
Cuál = which
"que" and "cual" (no accent marks) are different words.

Answer

I think of it like this:
in English we inly use 'which' for choosing between a small number of things, eg:
What's your favourite color?  What are your favourite movies?  but  Which coat should I wear?

I think in Spanish they use 'cual' for all of the above and 'que' for asking what something is or what someone bought, etc.

Answer

¿Qué? - when requesting information ( ¿Qué hora es? )

¿Cuál? - when requesting to choose between a selection or make a choice  (¿ Cuál prefieres llevar contigo?)

Answer

Con "que" preguntamos el significado y con "cual" preguntamos el nombre, algunos ejemplos correctos son:
