疑问代词 Which question word to use? 该用哪个疑问代词？ We use who to ask questions about people: 我们用who问关于人的问题： Who is that? Who lives here? Who did you see? We use whose to ask about possession: 我们用whose问关于所有权的问题： Whose coat is this? [or] Whose is this coat? Whose book is that? [or] Whose is that book? Whose bags are those? [or] Whose are those bags? We use what to ask questions about things: 我们用what问关于事物的问题： What is that? What do you want?

We can also use what and which with nouns: 我们也可以用what和which接名词： What subjects did you study at school? What newspaper do you read? Which newspaper do you read – the Times or the Guardian? Which book do you want? Which one is yours? Questions with prepositions: 疑问代词加介词： Questions ending in prepositions are very common in English. After Who, Which or What we often have a preposition at the end of the sentence: 以介词结尾的疑问句在英语中很普遍。在Who, Which or What后面我们经常以一个介词来结尾： Who does this book belong to? What are you looking for?
