LESSON XXVI.
INTERROGATIVE PRONOUNS.
Point out the pronouns in the following sentences, that are used in asking questions:—
| 1. | Who did this? | |
| 2. | What are you going to do next? | |
| 3. | Which of the boys lost his knife? |
A pronoun that is used in asking a question is called an interrogative pronoun; as, Who gave you the orange?
The interrogative pronouns are who, which, and what.
Who and which are declined like the relatives.
Who refers to persons; which refers to persons or to things; what refers to things.
Note.—Which differs from who in being selective; as, Which of the books is yours?
