Common Mistakes

  • Que tipos de cuentas ofreces?

    Missing the accent changes the meaning; ‘Que’ is a conjunction, not a question word.

  • ¿Qué tipos de cuentas ofrece?

    Using the third‑person form with ‘tú’ is grammatically incorrect; it should be ‘ofreces’ unless you are using the formal ‘usted’.

  • ¿Qué tipo de cuenta ofreces?

    Singular ‘cuenta’ would ask about a single account; the plural ‘cuentas’ is needed to ask about multiple types.

Alternatives

  • ¿Qué tipos de cuentas tienes?

    What types of accounts do you have?

  • ¿Qué tipos de cuentas dispones?

    What types of accounts are available?

  • ¿Qué variedad de cuentas ofreces?

Cultural Tip

In many Spanish‑speaking countries the verb form changes with the level of formality. If you are speaking to a customer‑service representative in a formal setting, switch to ‘¿Qué tipos de cuentas ofrece?’ (using the formal ‘usted’). Also, remember that ‘cuenta’ can refer to bank accounts, user accounts, or service plans, so context matters.
