Grammar Time

Using who? or what? instead of which?

Don't say: Who of the two boys is the taller?

Say: Which of the two boys is the taller?

Use the interrogative pronoun "which?" for both people and things, asks for one out of a definite number.

Note: The interrogative pronoun "what?" doesn't imply choice:

What's your telephone number?

It's also used to ask for a person's profession:

What's your father? - He's a lawyer.
