How many different ways can you say what in Spanish?

Join us on a rigorous step-by-step journey to fluency.

Today we're going to learn some more phrases that you can use as nouns,

and we'll dive deep into the various ways that you can say what in Spanish when it's not part of a question.

things. Now the tricky thing about this word is that it can go

either before or after a noun. For example, a good

house might be either a Buena Casa or

una Casa buena.

Un Chico Bueno or Un Buen Chico. Hmm, what happened here?
