1．以疑问词 whose 引导的特殊疑问句

（1）用来询问所有关系。所有者总是一个人而且期望得到的回答是某人的名字加-'s形式（如 Tim's蒂姆的），或者是一个所有格代词（如 mine我的）。

（2）这时 whose 也可在句子中作表语，如：

（3）当所有关系中指的是某件东西或某种物质时，whose后面的名词可以省略：

2．所有格形容词和所有格代词（1）

（1）所有格形容词与所有格代词都表示所有，即某人或某物属于某一个人，回答以whose引导的问句。所有格形容词my，your等是限定词，必须始终放在名词之前，只能作定语。它们的形式取决于所有者，而不是被拥有的东西。所有格代词mine，yours等不能用在名词前，并且在说话时要加重语气。它们指人或物，单数或复数都一样。请见下表：

如：

This is my car.

这是我的汽车。（定语）

That is her coat.

这是她的上衣。（定语）

Your car is red，mine is blue.

你的车是红色的，我的是蓝色的。（主语）

This book is his，not yours. 

这本书是他的，不是你的。（表语）

I have my way, and she has hers.

我有我的处事方式，她有她的。（宾语）

（2）名词所有格是在词尾加-'s构成的，不仅可作定语，还可作表语：

Is this Dave's shirt?

这是戴夫的衬衫吗？（作定语）

Whose is that shirt? Is it your daughter's?

那条裙子是谁的？是你女儿的吗？（作表语）
