Definition: (interrogative) That or those of whom or belonging to whom.
Alright class, settle down, let’s take a look!
Today we're tackling “whose,” it can be quite a trick,
It asks about ownership, quick, quick, quick!
The dictionary gives you the key, you see,
“That or those of whom… belonging to whom, for me!”
Let’s break that down with a little rhyme:
"Whose" asks
who
owns something, it's plain,
Like “Whose book is this?” again and again!
Or if you're asking about a group or place,
“Whose team won the race?" with joyful grace!
It’s all about possession, a rightful claim,
Showing
to whom
something belongs, it’s not the same as “who.”
Think of it this way: "Who" asks a question about
people
,
While "whose" is for things, a lovely steeple!
Do you have any questions? Don't be shy, let's explore,
Understanding “whose” will help you learn and soar!
