<!-- (Audio) Ángela: ¿Cuál es tu nombre y apellido? -->

--description--

Ángela asks a question using the structure ¿Cuál es tu + noun.

She could stop there. Instead, she adds another piece of information using the connector y and a second noun.

y is a conjunction used to connect two nouns. Here's the structure she uses:

¿Cuál es tu + noun + y + noun?

This allows the speaker to request more than one detail in the same question.

--instructions--

Listen to the audio and answer the question below.

--explanation--

In the sentence ¿Cuál es tu nombre y apellido?, two nouns are connected with y:

  • Nombre

  • Apellido

The word y connects two pieces of information.

Ángela first asks for the person's nombre and then adds apellido.

This structure allows the speaker to request multiple details in one question:

¿Cuál es tu correo y número?

Here, the second piece of information Ángela asks for is apellido.
