Interrogatives


Interrogatives

Interrogatives are sometimes called question words. They introduce both direct and indirect questions. When introducing indirect questions, they function somewhat like relative pronouns/adverbs.

Interrogates are also sometimes called W-words, since they almost all start with W: who, whom, whose, which, what, where, why, when, how.
Direct questions:
                Whose laptop is this?
                What’s for dinner?
                How do I work this scanner?
Indirect questions:
                Elvis knew whose laptop it was.
                I wondered what was for dinner.
                I had no idea how to work the scanner.
