Interrogative Pronouns

A pronoun is a word that takes the place of a common noun or a proper noun.

 

 

Interrogative Pronouns are pronouns used to ask questions. The four main interrogative pronouns are who, whom, whose, what and which.

Who, whose and whom are interrogative pronouns that ask for names of persons.

 

Who

We use who when the answer is the subject of the verb.

Examples:

Who broke the cup? Paul broke the cup.

Who sang the loudest? She sang the loudest.

 

 

Whom

We use whom when the answer is the object of the verb.

Examples:

Whom is she talking to? She is talking to Philip.

Whom did you see? I saw Pater.

Take note that although whom is the correct form for the object of the verb, it is rarely used in normal spoken English. Usually who is used instead of whom.

 

Whose

We use whose when we want to ask about ownership.

Examples:

Whose is this house?

Whose car did you drive here?

 

 

What

What is an interrogative pronoun that asks for names of things.

Examples:

What is the time?

What is your cat’s name?

 

Which

Which is an interrogative pronoun that asks for a specific person or thing from a group.

Examples:

Which of these bags is yours?

Which of them is the shortest?
