How do you use Whose in a sentence?
We use whose to introduce a relative clause indicating possession by people, animals and things:
- John works with that other chap whose name I can’t remember.
- Shirley has a 17-year-old daughter whose ambition is to be a photographer.
- This is the book whose title I couldn’t remember.
Who I have or whom I have?
When in doubt, try this simple trick: If you can replace the word with “he”’ or “’she,” use who. If you can replace it with “him” or “her,” use whom. Who should be used to refer to the subject of a sentence. Whom should be used to refer to the object of a verb or preposition.
Is it Bob and I or Bob?
The rule here is very simple: the correct word is the one you’d use if there were no “Bob” involved — so “I went to the store” becomes “Bob and I went to the store,” and “She kissed me” becomes “She kissed Bob and me.”
What is the correct grammar?
Correct grammar includes the proper use of syntax, spelling and parts of speech, among other sentence elements. Grammar considers the way individuals use language. As such, the impact of correct grammar is most apparent when one speaks or creates a written text or composition.
Who can I ask or whom?
The grammatically correct way to phrase this is whom to ask. The phrase to ask really means should I ask. Whenever we need a pronoun that refers to the subject, we use who. However, when we need one that refers to the object of a preposition or a verb, we use whom.
Is it correct to say me and Sally?
If you are using the subject form, “Sally and I” is correct. If you are using the object form, “Sally and me” is correct. For example, “Sally and I went to the cinema”, and “He gave presents to Sally and me” would be correct.
Which is the correct spelling Bob or Bobby?
Bob is a male given name or a hypocorism, usually of Robert, and sometimes a diminutive of Bobby.
How many babies were given the name Bob?
In 1960 nearly 3,000 babies in the United States were given the name Bob compared to fewer than 50 in 2000. This list is incomplete; you can help by adding missing items. (August 2015)
What’s the difference between who is and who’s?
The first thing to figure out when deciding between who’s vs. whose is whether you need one word ( whose) or two ( who’s ). Substitute the words who is, (and then who has) into your sentence. If either substitution works: who’s is your word. Who’s is a contraction of who is or who has.
Which is correct who is or who has?
Who’s is a contraction of who is or who has. A contraction is a shortened form of two or more words where the omitted letter (or letters) is replaced by an apostrophe. So, when the bears in Goldilocks and the Three Bears ask each other “ Who’s been sitting in my chair?”, it can also be understood as “ who has been sitting in my chair?”
