I. LANGUAGE FOCUS
1.1. Possessive pronoun “whose”
In possessive adjective clauses, the relative pronoun whose replaces a possessive word
such as Mary’s, his, our, their, the company’s, or its. Possessive adjective clauses can
follow the subject or the object pattern.
In the subject pattern, the whose + noun phrase is the subject of the adjective clause. In
the object pattern, the whose + noun phrase is the object in the adjective^ clause.
Notes
1. Some writers feel that whose should be used to refer only to people. For animals and
things, they recommend using of which. Compare:
I returned the book whose cover was torn.
I returned the book, the cover of which was torn.
Other writers use whose in all but the most formal writing (such as legal documents).
2. When whose + noun is the subject of an adjective clause, the verb agrees with that
noun.
She takes care of two children whose mother works at night.
(The verb works is singular to agree with mother.)
She takes care of two children whose parents work at night.
(The verb work is plural to agree with parents.)
1.2. Phrases of quantity and quality
A relative pronoun can occur in phrases of quantity and quality.
Quantity Relative Pronouns
some of whom He gave two answers, both of which were
all of whom correct.
each of which The top students, all of whom graduated with
both of which,etc. honors, received scholarships.
Quality Relative Pronouns
the best of whom She has three daughters, the oldest of whom is
