But you have mentioned three choices, but anyway I have the doubt above them, How are they used into of the Spanish.

If you can give me examples it will be better than without example.


I appreciate your help anyhow.

I don't understand your question.

To me "porqué" is news.

Yo escribiría:"Expliquen el por qué de sus actos"

That's how it was taught in school.

Es raro que un instructor enseña una cosa y un otro instructor enseña un otro!

Por qué (the same, but in indirect questions) No sé por qué te fuiste.
Porque (answer): Me fui porque estaba cansado.
Porqué (noun): No sé el porqué de tu llamada.
Por que (reason = por lo que): Fue por eso por que (= por lo que) me fui

I got it.


I didn't see this post, I'm sorry.

True, but it has to do with evolution of language and the way decisions on regional variations are taken. I was taught basically well, but the little details are surfacing lately.
For some time (at least in Mexico), what was "correct" and what was "incorrect" had more to do with what sounded better to the directors of education institutions than with agreed standards. So, many times, they taught their own mistakes, prejudices and/or anachronic schemes. For example: I was taught to accentuate words like "fé", "pié", "fué" and only in highschool I came to know this kind of words didn't need a written accent anymore.

Yeah, there are teachers who speaks things different to the other ones, but basically it depend much of the kinds of studies that they have and sometimes the schools have the thread defined for the same institution.
