The word "whose" is a possessive or interrogative pronoun. Instead of saying "Who owns this pencil?" you can say "Whose pencil is this?"
Example sentences:
- "Whose trash is this on the table?"
- "I talked to the boy whose bike had been stolen."
Note:
The apostrophe form "who's" is not the possessive, but rather a contraction for the phrase "who is."
