LESSON 3: ADJECTIVE CLAUSES 3 (WHOSE +
QUANTITY & QUALITY) A-LANGUAGE FOCUS
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 objectpattern, 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.)
2 Phrases of quantity and quality
A relative pronoun can occur in phrases of quantity and quality
Quantity Relative Pronouns some of whom
all of whom each of which both of
which,etc
