Unit 1: Basics

9. Question Words

Important question words are wer – who, wen – whom (accusative) and was – what. More on such pronouns will come in the next unit. Note that some books refer to question words as “interrogative pronouns.”

Examples:

Wer kennt den Hund? Who knows this dog?
Wen beißt der Hund? Whom is the dog biting?
Was weiß ich? What do I know?
