In short
Quel (which / what) agrees with the noun: quel train, quelle heure, quels films, quelles chaussures. It goes right before the noun (Quelle heure est-il ?) or before être (Quel est ton nom ?). After a preposition: À quelle heure ?, Dans quel quartier ?

When do you use quel, quelle, quels or quelles?
All four forms sound the same, so the spelling only matters in writing: check the gender and number of the noun. In casual speech, quel can come at the end: Tu as quel âge ? Tu pars à quelle heure ? Don't confuse quel (+ noun) with qu'est-ce que (+ verb): Qu'est-ce que tu fais ?
Quel temps fait-il chez toi ?
What's the weather like where you are?
Quelle bonne idée !
What a good idea! (quel also exclaims)
