“What time is the movie?”
In this sentence, is “what” an interrogative pronoun or an interrogative adverb?
I think it is an interrogative pronoun, because as I have learned, interrogative adverbs are only: why, where, how, when.
Thank you!
oxforddictionaries.com/definition/what?view=uk gives it as an interrogative determiner, which sounds spot on to me.
merriam-webster.com/dictiona … 1308782495 gives it as an adjective. I believe this is a more traditional/conservative classification, since not everyone is fully accepting of the “determiner” terminology.
Thank you, that helped me a lot. I think it can be an interrogative determiner -or- an interrogative pronoun in the sentence “what time is it?” since both can be used to “ask for information specifying something”. Thank you again 
I’m not sure that it can be called an interrogative pronoun in your sentence. Pronoun use would be like “what is it?”, “what do you mean?”, and so on.
Hello, Emogreen:
(1) Regarding “What time is it?” maybe it would help to put it in “correct” order for analysis:
It is what time?
(a) As you can see, “what” modifies “time.”
(2) One of my favorite grammar books gives this example: “What alternative do you suggest?” That is: “You do suggest what alternative?”
(a) That book explains that the interrogative pronoun “what” is being used to modify “alternative.” The book says that when an interrogative pronoun modifies a noun, some people (who follow traditional grammatical terms) prefer to call “what” a so-called “pronominal [pronoun] adjective.”
