⭐ The ! question strategy
AQA always tells you the topic of the question you must ask (e.g. "! Ask about price"). You just need to pick the right question word:
- Price → ¿Cuánto cuesta?
- Time → ¿A qué hora?
- Location → ¿Dónde está?
- Availability → ¿Hay algún…?
- Train / bus departure → ¿Cuándo sale?
These 5 patterns cover almost every ! prompt you will ever see. Memorise them as a set — they take seconds to deploy and guarantee the mark.
