Answer 1

Răspuns:

2. She is the girl whose brother got married yesterday.

3. Dave is the man whose dog was barking all night.

4. Mrs Barrymore is the woman whose brother escaped.

5. Dr Watson is the man who's got the gun.

Explicație: Whose is the possessive form of the pronoun who, while who's is a contraction of the words who is or who has. However, many people still find whose and who's particularly confusing because, in English, an apostrophe followed by an s usually indicates the possessive form of a word.
