Common errors in English: Usage of Interrogative pronoun Which.

 ‘Which’ as Interrogative pronoun


Incorrect : Who of the two girls is the taller? 


Correct: Which of the two girls is the taller?


Note : The interrogative pronoun "which” refers to both persons and things and asks for one out of a definite number. The pronouns “who” and “what” do not imply any choice. 


For example:

Who is going there? 

What is your telephone number?
