Q

When do you use qué with a tilde and que without a tilde? Just answer in English.

A

Qué with tilde for questions and exclamations when que is functioning as an interrogative PN or exclamatory adverb.
THINK MORE, Qué with tilde has one word with MORE marks than que without, it has MORE MARKS!!!!!!!!!
- one word with marks is MORE
- for q´s and exclams
- when que is interrog PN or exclam adv

Que without tilde
when que functions as a conjunction like in Que tenga buen día, the clause before is inferred, like espero que tenga buen día
THINK LESS
-1 word, no marks
- conjunction
- clause for desire-wish inferred

Q

It is also not necessary to include pauses as errors.

A

Tampoco es necesario incluir las pausas como errores.

Se dice “tampoco es necesario” (sin el “no”). Cuando usamos “tampoco”, ya estamos expresando una negación, por lo que no necesitamos agregar “no”.

Es como otros adverbios negativos en español: si van al inicio de la frase, no llevan “no”. Por ejemplo: “Nunca voy al cine” (no “nunca no voy”), “Nadie llegó a la fiesta” (no “nadie no llegó”).
