Can i use "Who's = Who has" in this case?

Tks & Rgds!

[Alan]

Hi,

If you use 'who has', the verb would have to be 'who has driven' and in the test sentence the verb is 'drove'.

Dear Mr. Alan/Torsten

I have a question, if I am not wrong in the following sentence "police" is collective noun and collective noun is treated as singular.

The police want to find out ......... drove the red car into the shop window

why here is used "police want to find out........." why not "police wants to find out"..........

one more question "may & might" is used to show the possibilities. But could you please explain where "may be and might be" used and what is difference of usage between "may & may be" and "might & might be"

Please help me out and guide me

Thanks in advance

I think taht there must be " the police want-s to find out" in the sentence above

hi,when we use WHO or WHO'S

[Beeesneees]

who's = who is.
who = what or which person...
whose = pronoun - belonging or associated with which person.

Who's the person who knows whose book this is?

Dear Torsten,
Good morning!
As usual I only got 8 correct on my first take,and a bit cofused on question no.2 and 7.Especially on question no.2 but I read all your explanation here I fully understand what it means.
One time.on my way going to work i read some lines in ad which says: "i drink,i health".one question puts in my mind.the second line is that correct?
