Yo tengo una pregunta. Is "que" necessary after tienes? - SonrisaDelSol, Jun 5, 2011

I was thinking the same, but I threw it in just in case! - Wannalearn, Jun 5, 2011

"que" is not only not needed, it is wrong (shouldn't be there). - samdie, Jun 6, 2011

Answer 1

¿Cuánto tiempo has estado casado? ¿Cuántos niños tienes hasta ahora? No, you don't need to say "que" after tienes. Or just ask ¿Cuántos niños tienes? ¿Cuánto tiempo llevas casado?

Answer 2

¿Cuánto tiempo llevas casado/a? ¿Tienes hijos ya?

The first one is perfect, but the second one means "Have you still have children?" It sound as if you expect them to die easily. Better: "¿Tienes hijos ya?" - lazarus1907, Jun 5, 2011

Many thanks for that Lazarus. - kenwilliams, Jun 6, 2011

Answer 3

Llevo casado casí cincuenta y tres años y tengo dos hijos y tres nietos.

Answer 4

Diría, ¿Hace cuántos años que se casa? (That makes how many years that you have been married?)

That sounds almost like the person have been marrying over and over again for years. I advise against this alternative. - lazarus1907, Jun 5, 2011

Answer 5

This is how the original sentences would sound. Hopefully this will give you some insights into how we think in Spanish:

¿Cuanto tiempo has casado ahora? = How long have you made [other people] marry now?

Tienes que niños aún? = Do you have to children yet?

Answer 6

Hola! I would put an accent over the "a" in "cuanto" so it becomes cuánto. The rest of that phrase looks good, otherwise.

For the second sentence, I do not think the "que" is necessary. I understand why you might think it would --- it's a common mistake, not a big deal . Also, I'd use "todavía" for yet.

Just my suggestions, do with them whatever you want. Good questions, though.
