1.149 'whose'

'Whose' shows who or what something belongs to or is connected with. Note that it cannot be used by itself, but must come in front of a noun.

'Whose' is often included with relative pronouns, although it is in fact a kind of possessive determiner. For more information on determiners, see paragraphs 1.161 to 1.235.
