What part of speech is why when where?

The words "why", "when", and "where" are all interrogative adverbs.

Here's why:

* Interrogative: They are used to ask questions.

* Adverbs: They modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs, providing information about time, place, manner, or reason.

Let's look at some examples:

* Why are you going to the store? (asks the reason)

* When will you be back? (asks the time)

* Where did you find that? (asks the location)
