Is when pronoun?

Answer 1

No, the word 'when' is an adverb and a conjunction.

The adverb 'when' introduces a question or an adverbial clause that modifies a verb. Examples:

• When is the meeting scheduled? (scheduled when)
• When we finish we can go to the mall. (can go when)

The conjunction 'when' joins two independent clauses to form a compound sentence. Example:

• The country must have seemed immense when the pioneers headed west.

The pronouns that introduce a question or a clause are the interrogative and relative pronouns.

The interrogative pronouns are: who, whom, whose, which, what.

The relative pronouns are: who, whom, whose, which, that.

A pronoun is a word that takes the place of a noun in a sentence. Examples:

• What is your favorite flavor? (flavor = what)
• The car that hit me was not insured. (car = that hit me)
