Adjective Clause (whose)

​Adjective Clause Using Whose

By Dyah Ariyanti

​Explanation

​• Whose is used to show possession (kepemilikan). • It replaces his / her / their in an adjective clause. • Whose + noun comes directly after the noun being described. Structure: Noun (person/thing) + whose + noun + verb + …

​Examples (Based on Cinderella)
1. Person + whose + noun
• Cinderella helped an old woman whose carriage was broken.
(= The woman’s carriage was broken.)
• The prince met a girl whose kindness impressed everyone.
(= Everyone was impressed by the girl’s kindness.)
• They searched for a maiden whose foot fit the glass slipper.
(= The maiden’s foot fit the slipper.)

​2. Thing + whose + noun

• She wore a dress whose magic would disappear at midnight.
  (= The dress’s magic would disappear at midnight.)

• The castle whose gates were guarded by soldiers was very large.
  (= The castle’s gates were guarded.)

​Use whose to connect two ideas:

1. Identify the owner (person or thing).

2. Identify the possession (noun).

3. Join the ideas using whose + noun.

​Example:

• The girl was very kind. Her stepmother was cruel.
  → The girl whose stepmother was cruel was very kind.
