Lesson Ten:� Demonstrative and Interrogative Pronouns

Today we’re going to learn how to use demonstrative and interrogative pronouns.

Let’s look at demonstrative words.

• There are four demonstrative words in the English language:
• Demonstrative words are used as adjectives and pronouns.
• If it is used as an adjective, it will be followed by a noun that it describes.
• If it is used as a pronoun, it will not be followed by a noun. The demonstrative pronoun replaces the demonstrative adjective and noun.

Here are some examples.

• Is this demonstrative word used as an adjective or pronoun?
• That car is really nice.
• “ That ” is an adjective because it describes “car”.
• If “ That ” were a pronoun, it would replace “That car”.
• That is really nice.
• Which shoes do you like? I like these .
• “ these ” is a pronoun because it is taking the place of a demonstrative adjective and the noun that it describes.
• If “ these ” were an adjective, it would describe “shoes”.
• Which shoes do you like? I like these shoes .

Let’s look at interrogative pronouns.

• There are five interrogative pronouns in the English language:
• “Who,” “which,” “what,” and “whose” are used in the subjective case as simple subjects and predicate nominatives.
• “Whom,” “which,” “what,” and “whose” are used in the objective case as direct objects, indirect objects, object complements, and objects of the preposition.

Let’s look at subjective interrogative pronouns.

• Why is “who” subjective in this sentence?
• Who is at the door?
• “Who” is the simple subject of the sentence.
• Why is “what” subjective in this sentence?
• What is your answer?
• “What” is the simple subject of the sentence.
• Why is “which” subjective in this sentence?
• Which are nicer?
• “Which” is the simple subject of the sentence.
• Why is “whose” subjective in this sentence?
• Those are whose?
• “whose” is the predicate nominative of the sentence.

Let’s look at objective interrogative pronouns.

• Why is “whom” objective in this sentence?
• To whom should I send your package?
• “Whom” is the object of the preposition “to”.
• Why is “what” objective in this sentence?
• What would you like?
• “What” is the direct object of the sentence.
• Why is “which” objective in this sentence?
• You gave which its food already?
• “Which” is the indirect object of the sentence.
• Why is “whose” objective in this sentence?
• Whose should I complete first?
• “whose” is the direct object of the sentence.

Let’s look at objective interrogative pronouns more closely.

• We can rewrite this sentence like this:
• I should send your package to whom?
• The sentence is asking a question. The speaker does not know who the antecedent of “whom” is.
• Let’s imagine it’s a man named Bob. We can now replace “whom” with “Bob”.
• I should send your package to Bob.
• “Bob” is the object of the preposition “to”.
• You would like what?
• The sentence is asking a question. The speaker does not know what the antecedent of “what” is.
• Let’s imagine it’s a pie. We can now replace “what” with “a pie”.
• You would like a pie.
• What got liked? A pie.
• “pie” is the direct object of the sentence.
• The sentence is asking a question. The speaker does not know what the antecedent of “which” is.
• Let’s imagine it’s a horse named Scout. We can now replace “which” with “Scout”.
• You gave Scout its food already.
• What got given? Its food.
• “its food” is the direct object of the sentence.
• What got the food?
• “Scout” is the indirect object of the sentence.
• I should complete whose first?
• The sentence is asking a question. The speaker does not know what the antecedent of “whose” is.
• Let’s imagine it’s Jim’s form. We can now replace “whose” with “Jim’s form”.
• I should complete Jim’s form first.
• What got completed? Jim’s form.
• “Jim’s form” is the direct object of the sentence.
