Activity 2
Whose or who's?
Read the text and complete the activity
Whose story is true?
Did you spot all the subject and object questions with 'what', 'who' and 'which'? We can also use the question word 'whose', spelt 'w-h-o-s-e', as in the question 'whose story is true?'. 'Whose' shows something belongs to someone and usually comes before a noun. It can be confusing because it sounds like 'who's', spelt w-h-o apostrophe 's' and which is short for 'who is' or who has'. Remember, 'whose' for belonging usually comes before a noun.
For example: Whose glasses have I just stepped on?
To do
