Relative pronoun (use "whose" in a sentence)

[Yrosua]

Hi there,
When do I know that I have to use WHOSE in a sentence?

[Haihao]

e.g. The above post is from Miss Yrosua whose location is Florida, USA.

[Yrosua]

Is that an example?

[Haihao]

e.g. = For example.

[Yrosua]

ok. I get it, so I use it when I'm talking about something. And about a person? How I use it? Give me an example, please.

[Yankee]

Yes, that was an example, and Haihao did a good job of personalizing it for you. :D

Here are a few more examples of how to use the word 'whose':

- Whose car is that? (Possible answer: It's John's car.)
- Do you know whose car that is? (Possible answer: It's John's car.)
- Is he the man whose car was stolen?
- She is the one whose dog barks all night.
- I have a cat whose name is CJ.
-

The word 'whose' is possessive. It is used with people, animals and things.

Have a look at Alan's write-up:
