Grammar/ Possessives

A possessive pronoun shows ownership, but it does not come before a noun or in a noun
phrase. Remember, possessive pronouns are used to replace the noun. Possessive
adjectives are used to describe the noun, so it is always followed by a noun.

Who’s and Whose

 Both of these words are versions of the interrogative pronoun who.

 Who’s is a contraction, meaning it is two words stuck together to make pronunciation
easier. The formula: who + is or who + has. E.g. who’s hungry?

 Whose is a possessive pronoun. Use it when you’re asking (or telling) to whom
something belongs. E.g. whose sandwich is this?

Whom is an object pronoun, meaning if you could replace it with “him,” “her,” “me,” or
“them,” you’re good to go. E.g. “Whom did you ask to go to the dance?” “To whom are you
speaking?”
