Interrogative pronouns

Interrogative pronouns are 'vragende voornaamwoorden' in Dutch, and we use them solely in interrogative sentences (vraagzinnen)

Who(m)    /   What   /    Which  /   Whose

Who - Whose - Whom??

Personen = who

Van wie, bezit = whose

Na voorzetsel (to, from, with, etc). = whom

Who is that man?

Whose laptop is this?

(not: who's!)

With whom did you go to school?

That is the person to whom I sold my car.

WHAT / WHICH

What: keuze uit enorm veel, of onbeperkt; hele groep dingen

Which: de keuze is beperkt (bijv. 2)

What countries would you like to visit?

Which countries have you visited?

WHERE/WHEN

Where: verwijst alleen naar een plaats

When: verwijst naar tijd.

Watch out for Dutchisms!

Het Nederlands werkt anders dan het Engels! (OMGinorite)

Where gebruik je alleen bij een specifieke plek.

Het Nederlands is vrijer: "Waar kijk je naar?"

In English: What are you looking at? (want veel keuze), niet Where are you looking at?
