Let's solve this worksheet step by step. The task is to

🔹 Interrogative Pronouns Recap:
-
Who – used for people, subject of the sentence
-
Whom – used for people, object of the sentence (formal)
-
What – used for things, objects, or information
-
Whose – shows possession
-
Which – used when choosing between specific options

Now let’s go through each sentence:
---
1.
______ one of the books is your favorite?
→ We're choosing among specific books →
Which
✔ Which
2.

whom
✔ whom
3.
______ shoes are sitting outside the front door?
→ Asking about ownership →
Whose
✔ Whose
4.
______ would you like to go to tomorrow?
→ Asking about a place →
Where? Wait — but only
who, whom, what, whose, which are allowed.
Wait: “Would you like to go to ___?” — it's asking for a
place, but none of these fit perfectly. But maybe it's a typo? Let’s look again.
Actually, it says “go to tomorrow” — that doesn't make sense. Probably meant “go
to” as in “where”? But we can’t use “where”.
Wait — perhaps it’s “
Which would you like to go to tomorrow?” — meaning from a list of events?
But the sentence is: “______ would you like to go to tomorrow?”
This is awkward. But if we interpret it as “which event/place”, then
which fits best.
