The grammar rule

Person, thing, owner, place — “who for people, which for things, whose for owners, where for places”

  1. who → people (the girl who helped me).
  2. which → things and animals (the bag which I bought).
  3. whose → belonging (the boy whose father is a pilot); where → places (the town where my grandmother lives).

Use it for: Joining short sentences into one, writing descriptions, and combining-sentence questions in tests.

Worked example: That is the boy ___ father is a pilot. → whose

  1. After the gap comes “father” — something that belongs to the boy.
  2. Belonging takes whose: the boy whose father is a pilot.

Check: Split it back: “That is the boy. His father is a pilot.” ✓
