Common Mistakes

  • Que opciones tengo para la velocidad?

    Missing accent on the interrogative pronoun; *qué* must have an accent.

  • ¿Qué opciones tienes para la velocidad?

    The verb must agree with the speaker; use *tengo* (I have) not *tienes* (you have).

  • ¿Qué opciones tengo de la velocidad?

    When asking about available options, the preposition *para* is idiomatic; *de la velocidad* sounds like you are asking about the speed itself, not the options.

Alternatives

  • ¿Qué ajustes de velocidad puedo usar?

    What speed settings can I use?

Cultural Tip

In Spanish the interrogative word *qué* always carries an accent, even when it appears at the beginning of a longer question. The phrase is neutral in register, so it works both in formal settings (e.g., asking a technician) and informal ones (e.g., chatting with a friend about a video player).
