Can be an interrogative pronoun?

"Can" is not an interrogative pronoun.

Interrogative pronouns are words used to ask questions. They include:

* who

* whom

* whose

* what

* which

"Can" is a modal verb, which is used to express ability, possibility, permission, or request.

For example:

* Can you help me with this? (asking about ability)

* Can it be true? (asking about possibility)

* Can I borrow your pen? (asking for permission)
