Common misconception
Cuál is used as in English, followed by a noun.
In Spanish, cuál is never followed by a noun.
The extended writing task is differentiated with two versions of a checklist; teachers will know for their pupils how to ensure that pupils are suitably challenged or supported to produce their best work in this task.
