WHOSE
If we want to describe a noun by what it
has
, we use the relative pronoun WHOSE.
Describing something for what it
did
:

who punched me!
Describing something for what it
has
:
I found the lady
whose friends
are famous!Slide5

whose
the subject, object, or OP of the AC.
S + V

OR
S + V
whose O

whose OP

WHOSE
The structure can be confusing:
noun (whose + S + V)
The SUBJECT is NOT the noun that the AC it is next to!
noun (whose + O + S + V)
The
OBJECT
is
NOT
the noun that the AC is next to!
I found the lady
whose dog bit you!
The dog
did
the action!
I found the lady
whose dog you stole
!
The dog
received
the action!Slide7
WHOSE
Instead of the noun before the relative pronoun doing or receiving the action, the noun INSIDE THE AC takes its place!

man who

We avoid PACs for other things!
