What are Interrogative Pronouns?
Interrogative pronouns are words that introduce questions. They ask "who," "what," "which," "whom," "whose," "where," "when," and "why."
Examples of Interrogative Pronouns in Sentences:
* Who: "Who is coming to the party?" (Asking about a person)
* What: "What is your favorite color?" (Asking about a thing)
* Which: "Which movie do you want to watch?" (Asking about a choice from a group)
* Whom: "Whom did you meet at the conference?" (Asking about the object of a verb or preposition)
* Whose: "Whose book is this?" (Asking about possession)
* Where: "Where did you find your keys?" (Asking about location)
* When: "When will the meeting start?" (Asking about time)
* Why: "Why are you late?" (Asking for a reason)
Key Points to Remember:
* Interrogative pronouns are always at the beginning of a question.
* They act as the subject or object of the question. For example, in "Who is coming to the party?" "Who" is the subject of the sentence.
* They can be used with helping verbs (like "is," "do," "have") to form questions.
