Definition:
The interrogative pronoun is a pronoun that is used to ask a question or something or to interrogate. These pronoun words are also called pronominal interrogative, which starts with a wh-type word. Not all words begin from wh- are interrogative pronouns.
Rules:
There are only five words that come under the interrogative pronoun. Whether they are used in question as to interrogate, they are called the interrogative pronoun respectively.
It also stands for some random things that we do not know because we ask about it, and the thing is yet to know.
The five interrogative pronouns are
Who, which, what, whom, and whose
Out of which two are only used to refer to people, Who and Whom, and others can be used to refer to anything like objects, places, or people, respectively.
If the words whose, which, what is used directly just after the nouns, then it functions like interrogative adjectives, and if these words start the question, then it is called the interrogative pronoun.
