What is an "interrogative adverb"?
An interrogative adverb is a word used to ask questions about time, manner, place, or reason. These adverbs include "how," "when," "where," and "why." For example, in the sentence "Where did you go?" the word "where" is an interrogative adverb because it is asking about the place of the action. Interrogative adverbs help form direct questions by seeking specific information related to how, when, where, or why something happens, playing a crucial role in question formation and inquiry in communication.
