I usually see "Quien" and "Cual" with and without accents, so I was wondering if they change meanings depending on whether they have accents on them?

We put accents when those words are questions. No change in meaning.

Thank you Julian! Do you think the sentence would be better if "la cual" was replaced with "que"? - Ramonaspiker, Oct 30, 2016
