Interrogative Pronouns ~ Pronombres interrogativos ~ Quién Qué Cuál Cuánto
Dónde
Quién, qué, cuál,
cuánto, and
dónde are Spanish
interrogative pronouns. A pronoun is a word
that replaces a noun, and interrogative means questioning, so interrogative
pronouns are pronouns used to ask the questions who, what, which, how
much/many, and where. Note that all of these words have accents.
