JumanahAre these "interrogative adverbs" or "interrogative adjectives"?These? What are "these"? I assume you mean the words "how" and "when". In your example sentences they are interrogative adverbs. "where" and "why" fall into the same category.
"who" and "what" are used as interrogative pronouns.

Whose socks are those?
They're interrogative adjectives because they're modifying nouns which are "shirt" and "socks".
Is that correct?
