LESSON XIV.
(Leccion decima cuarta.)
INTERROGATIVE PRONOUNS AND ADJECTIVES.
These are the same as the relative pronouns, only they are written with
an accent--
?Quien,-es? (who, whom?)
?Cual,-es? (which?)
?Que? (what?)
?Cuyo,-a,-os,-as? (whose?)
?De quien,-es[103]? (whose?)
?Cuanto,-a,-os,-as? (how much, how many?)
[Footnote 103: "De quien" is more usual than "Cuyo" in interrogations.]
_Cual_ when interrogative is used without the definite article which
must accompany it when it is a relative pronoun. _Quien_, interrogative,
is never an adjective.
EXAMPLES--
?Quien vino a verme? Who came to see me?
?Cual arreglo le gusta a V. mas? Which arrangement do you prefer?
?Cuyo es este lapiz? Whose is this pencil? _or_ Whose
?Cuyo lapiz es este? pencil is this?
?De quien es este lapiz?
?De quien recibio V. la consignacion de madera? From whom did you
