¿Como obtener una clave y acceder al banco? [See below.] Explanation: How do I get a password to access my account(s)?/ How to get a password to access your [my] account(s). Regarding the issue about which you posted, you can either use questions or declarative sentences throughout. The important point on this score, of course, is to maintain consistent style throughout. The same applies to choice of first or second person pronouns. But the real reason I've taken the trouble to post an answer here is to discourage you from using the phrasing "access the bank," which you seem to assume is correct, but which sounds almost non-natively unnatural in English. I assume here that the password allows those being addressed in the text to access their account information and to make transactions of various kinds at the bank in question. Suerte. |
