What is an Interrogative Pronoun?
Interrogative pronouns are used to ask questions. The five major interrogative pronouns are who, whom, what, whose and which.
When we refer to a person, who, whom, whose and sometimes which are used. When we refer to animals and inanimate objects, what and which are used.
To these interrogative pronouns, you can add the suffix โeverโ to get whatever, whoever, whichever, and whomever. These are used for emphasis or surprise. They are used rather rarely.
Example: Whoever would want to go to such a creepy place!
