LESSON 3: ADJECTIVE CLAUSES 3
-WHOSE,
-QUANTITY & QUALITY: TỪ CHỈ SỐ LƯỢNG & TỪ CHỈ CHẤT LƯỢNG
A-LANGUAGE FOCUS
1. Possessive pronoun “whose”: Đại từ sở hữu
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.)
STRUCTURE WITH WHOSE: CẤU TRÚC CÂU KHI SỬ DỤNG WHOSE
Whose + Noun + Verb: Whose as S
Whose + Noun + Subject +Verb: Whose as O
Ex:
1. The man whose wife you just met is my
neighbor.
2. The police is looking for the man whose
car has been broken.
