What is an "interrogative pronoun"?
An interrogative pronoun is a type of pronoun used to ask questions about people, things, or situations. The main interrogative pronouns in English are "who," "whom," "whose," "what," and "which." For example, in the question "Who is coming to the party?" the pronoun "who" is used to inquire about a person. In the sentence "What do you want?" the pronoun "what" asks for information about a thing or idea. Interrogative pronouns are essential for forming questions and obtaining specific information, making them key components in communication and conversation.
