Definition with Examples
There are three interrogative Determiners in English grammar- what, which, whose. They are used to frame a question. Interrogative Determiners usually ask questions about a noun and are always followed by the noun. Interrogative Determiners should not be confused with the Interrogative Adverbs and the two are completely different in the purpose they serve in a sentence or clause. For example consider the following sentences-
- What time did you reach here?
- Which school do you study?
- Whose shirt are you wearing?
Indirect question referring to future/past incidents-
- I wonder what will be his response.
- I had no idea which way to go.
- Who was the man behind the curtain?
Interrogative Determiners can also be used with exclamations. For Example-
- You reach here at what time!
- Which hotel are you staying in!
- Whose child is this!
