What is an interrogative pronoun?

An interrogative pronoun is a pronoun which is used to make asking questions easy. There are five interrogative pronouns. Each one is used to ask a very specific question.

Interrogative pronouns can also be used as relative pronouns, which may be found in questions. You’ll know for certain that a pronoun is classified as an interrogative when it’s used in a question, because interrogative pronouns are found only in questions.• What• Which• Who• Whom• Whose

Interrogative pronouns are very easy to remember and use. Memorize them to make things even simper.

Example of interrogative pronoun

Sentences containing interrogative pronouns are always questions, so they always end with a question mark. In the following examples, interrogative pronouns have been italicized for ease of identification.• What do you want for your birthday?• Which shirt do you think looks better on me?• Who do you think will win the playoff game?• To whom are you speaking?• Whose socks are those?

What is an indefinite pronouns

As the name suggests indefinite pronouns are pronouns that are not definite in meaning. In other words they are not specific in which noun they replace. They may be singular or plural, and must match the verb in number.

There are two categories of indefinite pronouns. The first category includes pronouns that refer to a nonspecific noun. These pronouns are:-Anybody - Anyone-Anything -Everybody-Everyone -Everything-Nobody -None-No One -Nothing-Somebody -Someone-Something -Each

Example of indefinite pronoun

• That ice-cream was good. Can I have another?

• Can anyone answer this question?• The doctor needs to know if you have

eaten anything in the last two hours.• Each has his own thoughts.• We can start the meeting

because everybody has arrived.• They have no house or possessions. They

lost everything in the earthquake.

What is a relative pronoun?

A relative pronoun is a pronoun that introduces an adjective clause. In English, the relative pronouns are:• That• Which• Who• Whom• Whose

A relative pronoun is used to start a description for a noun. (This description is called an adjective clause or a relative clause.) The description comes after the noun to:1. Identify it. For example:• The lady who made your dress is waiting outside.

(The noun is the lady. The relative pronoun is who. The adjective clause identifying the lady is shaded.)

• I saw the dog which ate the cake.(The noun being identified is the dog.)

• We did not know the tune that had been playing..(The noun being identified is the tune.)

2. Tell us more information about it. For example:• Mrs. Miggins, who owns a pie shop, is

waiting outside.(The noun is Mrs. Miggins. The adjective clause tells us some information about her.)

• I rode my bike, which now had two flat tyres, back home.(The noun is my bike. The adjective clause tells us some information about it.)
