The interrogative word or question word refers to the function work that helps ask a question.

Which, what, where, whom, whose and how are called question words because they are mostly used to inquire about a query.

When \u201c who\u201d is the object, we can instead use whom; however, the \u201cwho\u201d question word is quite common in everyday conversation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Examples:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Who was the judge?
