The interrogative pronouns are usually the subject of a question (interrogative) sentence. The interrogative pronouns that refer to a person or persons are: who, whom, which, and whose.
Examples:
Who made this lovely cake?
To whom should I give my completed application?
Which sister did you invite to the prom?
Whose car did you borrow?
The term "interrogative" refers to a question or inquiry. In grammar, an interrogative sentence is one that asks a question, usually beginning with words like "who," "what," "where," "when," "why," or "how."
Interrogative refers to a sentence, phrase, or word that asks a question. It is used to seek information or clarification from the listener or reader. Interrogative words typically start with 'wh-' or 'how'.
The word 'why' is considered an adverb, which can introduce a question (interrogative) or an adverbial phrase. For example:Why did he go? (the adverb 'why' modifies the verb 'did go')He told me why he went. (the adverb 'why' introduces the adverbial clause that modifies the verb 'told')The interrogative and relative pronouns take the place of a noun antecedent. For example:Who gave you the flowers? (the pronoun 'who' takes the place of the noun that is the answer to the question)My sister who has a garden gave me the flowers. (the pronoun 'who' introduces a relative clause that refers to the noun antecedent 'sister')
Mode of expression as it refers to the character emotion of the sentence interrogative- question..."What time is it?" Declarative- answer..."It's Four O'clock." Imperative- "Hurry up then!" Mode of expression as it refers to the nature of the expressor would be whimsical, cinical, crass, etc.
It's the Subject View. I just took a test that had this question, and the answer is the subject view
"Answers what" refers to providing information or clarification about a topic or question, while "answers whom" refers to identifying the person or entity that is the subject of a question.
It's a question asking: "Is the boy lazy?"Let's break it down:est -- he/she/it is. (sum, esse)ne -- particle indicating the interrogative (it means you're asking a question)puer -- boy (3rd declension masculine noun in the nominative; the case indicates it's the subject)ignavus -- lazy (adjective in the masculine nominative, meaning it agrees with 'puer', so it refers to the boy.)
The correct punctuation for the subject matter you referred to should include a question mark at the end of the sentence. This helps to indicate that the sentence is a question.
In most cases, the antecedent of an interrogative pronoun is the answer to the question.Examples:Who is teaching math? Mr. Roberts is the math teacher.From whom did you get the flowers? My daughtersent them.What is the name of that movie? It's called "Midnight".Which is your favorite color? I like the blue.Whose truck is in the driveway. It's the plumber's truck.
The word 'what' is a pronoun when it refers to a noun when it introduces a question or a relative clause.Example: What is your name?The interrogative pronoun refers to the noun name. The pronoun 'what' is taking the place of the noun (the person's name) that is the answer to the question.Example: A new car is what I'm saving for. The relative clause 'what I'm saving for' refers to the noun 'car'.The word 'what' is an adverb when it refers to a verb when it introduces a question or a relative clause.Example: What did you see?The interrogative adverb 'what' refers to the verb 'see'.Example: I know what I saw. The relative clause 'what I saw' refers back to the verb 'know'.The word 'what' is also an adjective (some dictionaries refer to this function as a determiner) when placed before a noun to qualify that noun.Example: What food is left from the party goes to a soup kitchen.The adjective 'what' qualifies or describes the noun 'food'.The word 'what' is also an exclamation.What! You forgot our anniversary!
The subject of a sentence answers the question "what" or "whom." It refers to the person or thing that is performing the action or being described in the sentence.
A person's name is a noun because it is a word that refers to a person, place, thing, or idea. It serves as the subject of a sentence or as an object of a verb or preposition.
