✦Grammar Breakdown
Quéplataformavasausar
Qué (interrogative pronoun)
Used to ask for specific information; in questions it often appears at the beginning of the clause.
Periphrastic future (ir + a + infinitive)
‘vas a usar’ expresses a near‑future intention, equivalent to ‘you are going to use’ in English.
Infinitive verb (usar)
The infinitive follows ‘ir a’ and retains its full form; do not conjugate it.
Noun agreement
‘plataforma’ is a feminine singular noun, so any adjectives or articles must match its gender and number.

✕Common Mistakes
¿Qué la plataforma vas a usar?
Do not add the article after ‘qué’; the interrogative already replaces the noun phrase.
¿Qué plataforma vas a usarás?
Do not combine the periphrastic future with the simple future; choose one form.
¿Qué plataforma usaré?
Using the simple future ‘usaré’ changes the subject; the question is directed at ‘you’, not ‘I’.

Cultural Tip
In Spanish, both ‘qué’ and ‘cuál’ can introduce a question about choice, but ‘qué’ is more common when the noun is directly mentioned (¿Qué plataforma?). ‘Cuál’ is preferred when the noun is omitted (¿Cuál vas a usar?). Also, the periphrastic future (ir + a + infinitive) is the most natural way to talk about near‑future plans in everyday speech.
