Lesson 38 Interrogative Pronouns and Adjectives Latin II March 10 -14

Interrogative Pronoun! A pronoun is a word that takes the place of a noun. Examples: he, she, it, you, we, they, who, what, this, that… Last week we learned relative pronouns: who, whose, whom, which, that. This week: interrogative pronouns!

Interrogative Pronouns • Like their name suggests, interrogative pronouns are used to ask questions. • Who is that girl? • What is she doing? • The Latin interrogative pronouns for “who” and “what” are QUIS and QUID

quis, quid who? what? Good news! The interrogative pronoun chart is the same as the relative pronoun chart we had last week…without the feminine singular column!

Interrogative Pronouns in Action! • Quis est puella? Who is the girl? • Quid facit? What is she doing? • Cui dicit? To whom is she talking? • Quem puella amat? Whom does the girl like?

Interrogative Adjectives! An adjective is a word that describes a noun. An interrogative adjective is used to ask the question “what x? ” or “which x? ” where “x” is any person or thing. Which boys did you see? Whose book was lost?

Interrogative Adjectives! Good news! The interrogative adjective in Latin is the EXACT SAME CHART as the one we used for relative pronouns last week! Note that the interrogative adjective is never translated as “who” like the relative pronoun. You wouldn’t say: “Who man is that? ” You’d say: “Which man is that? ”

The Interrogative Adjective quī, quae, quod – which? what? M. Nom. Gen. Dat. Acc. Abl. F. N. quī cuius cui quem quō quae cuius cui quam quā quod cuius cui quod quō Sg. quī quōrum quibus quōs quibus quae quārum quibus quās quibus quae quōrum quibus quae quibus Pl.

Let’s Compare! Interrogative Pronoun vs. Interrogative Adjective Remember: A pronoun takes the place of a noun; it stands alone. What are you playing? Who is that girl? Who is going with me? To whom did you give the money?

Let’s Compare! Interrogative Pronoun vs. Interrogative Adjective An adjective DESCRIBES a noun already there. What music are you playing? Which girl is that? Which child is going with me? To which person did you give the money?
