    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?
