Is the word what a pronoun or verb?

Answer 1

The word 'what' is a pronoun, an adjective, an adverb, and an interjection.

The pronoun 'what' is an interrogative pronoun and a relative pronoun.

An interrogative pronoun introduces a question.

Example: What is your favorite movie?

A relative pronoun introduces a relative clause, a group of words that includes a subject and a verb giving information about the antecedent but an incomplete sentence on its own.

Example: He gets what he wants by saving his money.

An adjective is a word used to describe a noun.

Example: I've spent what money I had.

As an adverb, the word 'what' is used to express how much or how.

Example: What can go wrong?

As an interjection, the word 'what' is used to express surprise.

Example: What! The tickets are sold out?

Answer 2

The word 'for' is a preposition and a conjunction.

• A preposition is a word, usually coming in front of a noun or pronoun, telling its relation to another word in a sentence.
• A conjunction is a word used to connect words, phrases, clauses, or sentences.

Examples:

I made a sandwich for you. (preposition)

I knew the way for I'd been there before. (conjunction)
