Acc Quem Quam Quod Quos Quas Quas Abl Quo Qua Quo Quibus Quibus Quibus HOW TO TELL BETWEEN ALL THREE! Relative Pronoun: o usually introduces a subordinate clause, has an antecedent, and does not ask a question (in fact, relative clauses answer questions, in the sense that they are adjectival and provide further information about their antecedents: o e.g liber quem legis est meus, the book which you are reading is mine) Interrogative Pronoun: o asks a question about the identity of a person or thing, has no antecedent, and often introduces a sentence with a question mark at the end o e.g. quid legis? what are you reading? Interrogative Adjective: o asks for more specific identification of a person or thing and both precedes and agrees in gender; number, and case with the noun it is asking about. o e.g. quae femina ilium librum legit? which woman is reading that book?
