Question

what is the "what" in grammar?
​

Answer 1

$\huge \boxed { \red{\bold{Aɴsᴡᴇʀ}}}$

We can use what to ask for information about things and actions:

• What do you want?

• What’s she doing? Tell her to stop at once!

• What time are you leaving?

We can also use what in indirect questions:

She asked me what my address was.

I wonder what Jim Barfield is doing these days.

Answer 2

Answer:

In grammar, 'what' is a wh-word. We use what to ask questions and as a pronoun and determiner.
