quel déterminant interrogatif se traduit généralement par who lorsque la question porte sur des personnes: quel est ce jeune homme? = who is that young man?; et par what dans les autres cas: quelle est la capitale du Togo? = what is the capital of Togo?

Debussy, Ravel ou Poulenc? = which French musician composed ‘Bolero’? Debussy, Ravel or Poulenc?

quel adjectif interrogatif se traduit soit par what lorsque le contexte est vague et les possibilités infinies: quel musicien vas-tu écouter? = what musician are you going to listen to?; soit par which lorsque le contexte est spécifique et le nombre de possibilités limité: dans quel tiroir as-tu mis la lettre? = which drawer did you put the letter in? Voir I ci-dessous

On remarquera qu'en anglais lorsque la question comporte une préposition plusieurs cas sont possibles: dans quel pays habite-t-elle? = what country does she live in?; = in what country does she live? La première traduction est utilisée dans la langue courante, parlée ou écrite. La deuxième sera préférée dans une langue plus soutenue, surtout écrite. Voir II ci-dessous
