The word "what" can function as different parts of speech depending on its use in a sentence:

  1. Interrogative pronoun – when asking questions about things or information.
    • Example: What is your name?
  2. Determiner (or adjective) – when specifying or modifying a noun.
    • Example: What book are you reading?
  3. Exclamation – expressing surprise or emphasis.
    • Example: What a beautiful day!

If you provide the sentence or context where "what" is used, I can tell you exactly which part of speech it is in that case!
