This chapter builds on the relative pronouns of the previous chapter; although, this time it is about interrogatory pronouns. There are the words that ask interrogate or ask questions: 'who, which what?' The result is they do not have an antecedent and can be identified by the fact that the sentence is a question. They are found on the top of page 15, the plurals are not given in the textbook because the plurals of these are exactly the same as the plurals of the relative pronouns on page 4.
The 'indefinite adjective' on page 14 is just a rare irregular adjective that is easy to form: just add '-dam' to the end of the relative pronoun you already learned in the last chapter and you have the adjective 'certain' or 'some' in the plural form. But let's learn more about the interrogatory pronoun. Do this exercise involving all 'qu-' type words, see page 13 for this as it includes relative, interrogatory and indefinite adjectives.
