How do I know which interrogative adjective to use?

To know which interrogative adjective to use, you need to figure out what is being talked about. This is because we've got 4 different words. In essence, all of these words mean 'which'. Which shoes? Which flowers? Which book?

You use quel, as a book is ‘un livre’: singular and masculine

PLURAL

3-Quels?-masculine Quels livres?-Which books

4-Quelles?-feminine Quelles chaussures?-Which shoes?

Here, we are asking about shoes, which are feminine and plural

Your turn-complete with quel, quelle, quels, or quelles and tell me what the sentence means

……livre veux-tu?
