¿Cuándomedanlosresultados?

✕Common Mistakes
¿Cuando me dan los resultados?
Missing accent; 'cuando' without accent is a conjunction, not an interrogative.
¿Cuándo les dan los resultados?
The indirect object pronoun must match the speaker (me), not a third‑person plural (les).
¿Cuándo me dará los resultados?
The verb must agree with the implicit plural subject (ellos/ellas), so use 'dan', not the singular 'dará'.
Cuándo me dan los resultados?
Spanish requires both opening (¿) and closing (?) question marks.

Cultural Tip
In many Spanish‑speaking countries it is common to add a courtesy word such as 'por favor' or to soften the request with '¿Podría decirme…?'. Also, the verb 'dar' is the usual way to talk about handing over results; avoid using 'recibir' in the question because the focus is on the provider, not the receiver.
