1. The interrogative pronouns are used in question sentences. And there are five: who, which, what, where and how.
     The interrogative sentence does not contain the antecedent, it is either understood or remains unknown until the
     question is answered. The antecedent is the noun being refered to.
    Eg. "Which do you like?"(interrogative pronoun: which - with  the antecedent given in the answer.)
    The possible answer to this question may be: "I like blue." (antecedent: blue)
