Interrogative pronouns

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

Who     /    Whose     /    Whom     /   What   /    Which  /   Why

Who-Whose- Whom??

Personen= who

Van wie, bezit= whose

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

Who is that man?

Whose laptop is this?

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

Which: de keuze is beperkt

What countries would you like to visit?

Which countries have you visited?

WHERE/WHEN

Where: verwijst alleen naar een plaats

When: verwijst naar tijd.

LET OP:

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?
