Common Mistakes

  • Que otras tarifas iniciales hay?

    Missing the accent; 'Que' without accent is a conjunction, not an interrogative pronoun.

  • ¿Qué otras tarifas iniciales están?

    Do not change 'hay' to 'habéis' or 'están' – 'hay' is the correct existential verb for this construction.

  • ¿Qué otras tarifas inicial hay?

    The adjective must agree in gender and number with 'tarifas' (feminine plural).

Cultural Tip

In many Spanish‑speaking countries the word 'tarifa' can refer to both a fixed price and a variable rate (e.g., electricity tariffs). When asking about fees, keep the tone polite and, if you are in a formal setting, you may add 'por favor' or use the formal 'usted' form: '¿Qué otras tarifas iniciales hay, por favor?'.
