Interrogative Pronouns

• ​Pronouns used to introduce a question (interrogative sentence)

• ​Common interrogative pronouns:

  • ​who

  • ​whom

  • ​which

  • ​what

  • ​whose

• ​"Who" is a SUBJECT pronoun

  • ​In other words, it is used in place of he, she, I, you, we, or they

• ​"Whom" is an OBJECT pronoun

  • ​In other words, it is used in place of him, her, me, you, us, or them

​

​TRY ANSWERING THE QUESTION WITH A PERSONAL PRONOUN TO TEST WHETHER TO USE "WHO" OR "WHOM."

• ​Be careful not to confuse the possessive pronoun "whose" with the contraction "who's."

• ​"Whose" shows who owns something.

• "​Who's" is a contraction for "who is."

​

​REMEMBER: Possessive pronouns NEVER have apostrophes!

• ​The pronoun "which" is used when there is a choice involved.
