HOW TO REMEMBER : RELATIVE PRONOUNS ((Interrogative Pronouns)

C. INTERROGATIVE PRONOUNS

When a pronoun is used to ask a question, it is an interrogative pronoun. An interrogative pronoun has no antecedent as the antecedent is not known. What, who, which, whom, whose are interrogative pronouns.

Examples:

• What is your name? 
• Who is the winner?
• Who won?
• Which man will take the seat?
• Which girl will answer this question?
• Whom did you give the book to?
• Whom did he go with?
• Whose pen is this? 
• Whose child is that?

Interrogative pronouns can also assume suffixes like-ever and -so ever. Whatever, Whatsoever, Whoever, Whomsoever, Whichever.

D. DISTRIBUTIVE PRONOUNS

Pronouns that simultaneously indicate the nouns are called distributive pronouns. These pronouns are in the singular form and they always come after the verbs.

1. EACH

"Each" is used to indicate every one of the two or more people or things that are distinct "Each" goes before a singular noun and is followed by a singular verb.

Examples: 

• Each sentence is divided into two parts.

(Singular noun = "Sentence", singular verb= "is"

• Each worker has been provided with his own instrument.
• Each boy was in the pool.

2. EITHER AND NEITHER

A singular verb is used after "either" and "neither".
