| Dec 2, 2017 at 3:08 | comment | added | aparente001 | Ah, thanks, I can understand what you're asking much better now. Hmm. I don't know what the rules are but I will share what I've figured out on my own. (English was my first language but for some time Spanish was my dominant language.) First, cuál is often more polite and formal then qué. Second, ¿Qué es ... is less mellifluous than ¿Cuál es .... Finally, since prices vary frequently, I wouldn't use ser with price comparisons, I'd use estar: ¿Cuál está más caro ahora, el pescado o la carne de res? // I think it would be helpful ... | |

| Dec 2, 2017 at 2:52 | comment | added | aparente001 | You wrote, "I have read that cuál never follows a noun," so you concluded that ¿Cuál película te gusta más? doesn't work. But I think you've misunderstood the word "follow." Example: B follows A in the alphabet. That means B comes after A. | |
