Certainly! Here's a clear explanation of the difference between "whose" and "who's" :
Whose vs Who's
1. Whose
- Type: Possessive pronoun
- Meaning: Indicates ownership or possession.
- Usage: Used to ask or tell about something belonging to someone.
- Example sentences:
- Whose book is this?
- I met a man whose car was stolen.
- Do you know whose jacket this is?
2. Who's
- Type: Contraction
- Meaning: Short for "who is" or "who has."
- Usage: Used in questions or statements where "who is" or "who has" fits.
- Example sentences:
- Who's coming to the party tonight? (Who is coming...)
- Who's finished their homework? (Who has finished...)
- Do you know who's at the door?
Quick Tip to Remember:
- If you can replace the word with "who is" or "who has" and the sentence still makes sense, use "who's".
- If you are talking about possession or ownership, use "whose".
