Using Whose

Whose is used to show possession. It has the same meaning as other possessive adjectives such as his, hers, its, their, etc.
–There's the man whose house we bought.
–I have a book whose story is fascinating.


Whose modifies people but can also be used with things.

You should learn how to combine short sentences using whose:


–The woman is a talented artist. I saw her paintings.
–The woman whose paintings I saw is a talented artist.
