What are the interrogative pronouns?

The interrogative pronouns are words that introduce questions and ask for information. They are:

* Who: Refers to people. (e.g., "Who is going to the party?")

* Whom: Refers to people as the object of a verb or preposition. (e.g., "To whom did you give the gift?")

* Whose: Shows possession. (e.g., "Whose car is this?")

* What: Refers to things or ideas. (e.g., "What is your favorite color?")

* Which: Refers to things or ideas, choosing from a limited number of options. (e.g., "Which cake would you like?")
