Great question! Here's a clear explanation of "whose" vs. "who's" :

Whose vs. Who's

Whose

  • Meaning: Possessive form of "who."
  • Use: To ask or indicate ownership or belonging.
  • Example:
    • Whose book is this?
    • I met a woman whose car was stolen.

Who's

  • Meaning: Contraction of "who is" or "who has."
  • Use: To shorten "who is" or "who has" in informal writing or speech.
  • Example:
    • Who's coming to the party? (Who is coming...)
    • Who's finished their homework? (Who has finished...)

Quick Tip to Remember

  • If you can replace the word with "who is" or "who has" , use "who's".
  • If you are talking about possession, use "whose."
