UNIT 7 INTERROGATIVE PRONOUNS

1. Interrogative pronouns are used in inquiry, to form special questions. They are: who, whose, what, which.

2. The interrogative pronoun who refers to human beings: Who won – Smith or Fitzgibbon? Who are your close friends? –Naomi and Bridget. It has the category of case: the nominative case is who, the objective case whom. Whom isn’t often used in informal English: Who did they arrest?(informal) Whom did they arrest? (formal) With whom did you go? (very formal)

3. What usually refers to things or animals, but it may be applied to people when one asks about their job: What are you looking for? What lives in those little holes? – Rabbits (do).

4. The questions Who is he? What is he? differ in their meaning. The first question is about the name of a person: Who is working tomorrow? – Phil and Lucy (are working tomorrow). The second question inquiries about the job of the person: What’s Paula? – She’s a secretary.

5. Which has a selective meaning: it corresponds to the Russian ‘’который из нас’’ (an individual of the group). It may refer to people and things: We’ve got white and brown bread. Which will you have? Which of your teachers do you like best? Which of these coats is yours?

When the speaker is not thinking of a limited number of choices, what can be used: What language do they speak in Greenland? What is your telephone number?
