The words where, when, and how are adverbs.

When these adverbs introduce a question, they are modifying the verb; for example:

  • Where can I find the egg beater? (modifies the verb 'can find')
  • When does the movie start? (modifies the verb 'does start')
  • How are you traveling to Florida? (modifies the verb 'are traveling')*

When a pronoun introduces, the pronoun is taking the place of the noun or pronoun that is the answer to the question; for example.

  • Who are you traveling with? My sister is going with me.

When these adverbs introduce a clause, they are modifying the verb; for example:

  • I know where they sell those shoes. (the entire adverbial clause modifies the verb 'know')
  • We came when we heard the news. (the entire adverbial clause modifies the verb 'came')
  • She learned how to sew from her grandmother. (the entire adverbial clause modifies the verb 'learned')
When a pronoun introduces a clause, it's called a relative clause, a group of words that 'relates' information about its antecedent; for example:
  • It was her grandmother who taught her to sew. (the entire relative clause 'relates' to the noun 'grandmother')

*The word order of interrogative questions can be confusing when trying to identify parts of speech:

  • How are you traveling? = You are traveling how?
