We use interrogative pronouns to ask questions. The interrogative pronoun represents the thing that we don't know (what we are asking the question about). There are four main interrogative pronouns: who, whom, what, which. Notice that the possessive pronoun whose can also be an interrogative pronoun (an interrogative possessive pronoun).
Look at these example questions. In the sample answers, the noun phrase that the interrogative pronoun represents is shown in bold. Note that we sometimes use the suffix -ever to make compounds from some of these pronouns (mainly whoever, whatever, whichever).
