What's the difference between "quien" and "quienes" in Spanish? I don't get my homework!?

Question

For example, I have things to which I need to add a question beginning.

1) ?_____ ensena?

2) ?_____ ensena el profesor?

3) ?_____ estudian?

How do I know whether or not to use "quien" or "quines"

Answer 1

"Quien" is singular and "quienes" is plural. just like "who's" and "whose"

Answer 2

Quien is singular and quienes is plural, like you would say Quien ensena, if it was quienes, you would write, quienes ensenan

Answer 3

Quién means "who" and Quiénes is the plural form. Generally you use the singular form (Quién) in a question. However, you must look at the verb forms.

If the verb is conjugated in third person plural (estudian) then "quién" must be plural too: "quiénes" would be correct.

If the verb is conjugated in third person singular (enseña) then "quién" must be singular too: "quién" would be correct.

Answer 4

Quienes is for more people (more than one)

Quien is for One person

So here it is:

1) ¿__Quien___ ensena?

2) ¿__Quien___ ensena el profesor?

3) ¿__Quienes__ estudian?

ooh you forgot the ñ Ñ

(you can do this ones with ALT and 164 at the same time... for the capital letter use ALT and 165 at the same time too !!)

1) Who teaches ?

2) Who teach the teacher ?

3) Who is studys ?
