¿Qué pasa con "que"?

Another one...

I am reading some dual-language literature and am finding a lot of the word "que" were it does not make sense to me. I know the basics: que means "what?" it can means "what a/an..." it can mean "than" and I think even "who", "whom", and "which" in some cases, but I am convinced that there are other uses.

Take a look at all the examples for ''que" in the dictionary.

From what I understand (and know that I am a beginner) que with an accent is a question word, and when used without an accent it means something else. Also when combined with certain verbs que can take on another meaning. For example when combined with tener it means to have to. Ex: Tengo que means I have to... maybe take a look at what other words preceed que and investigate their meanings when they are combined.

Hope this helped!
