Interrogative pronouns are used to ask questions about people, animals, things, or ideas. They introduce questions and seek information about the identity, description, or other qualities of the noun they replace. In English, there are five main interrogative pronouns: “who,” “whom,” “whose,” “what,” and “which.” Here’s how they are used with examples:
- Who – used to ask about a person or people:
- Who is coming to the party tonight?
- Who called you yesterday?
- Whom – used to ask about the object of a verb or preposition (formal usage):
- To whom did you give the letter?
- Whom did she marry?
- Whose – used to ask about possession or ownership:
- Whose book is this?
- Whose idea was it to go on vacation?
- What – used to ask about things or ideas:
- What is your favorite color?
- What are you doing this weekend?
- Which – used to as
- Which shirt do you like better?
- Which of these books did you read?
