who's and whose 是否可以通用?

This is one of those cases where it is important to remember that possessive pronouns never take apostrophes, even though possessive nouns do (see it’s/its). “Who’s” always and forever means only “who is,” as in “Who’s that guy with the droopy mustache?” or “who has,” as in “Who’s been eating my porridge?” “Whose” is the possessive form of “who” and is used as follows: “Whose dirty socks are these on the breakfast table?

Who's = Who is 誰是
whose = 誰的

Whose is the possessive form of who (or, occasionally, which). It means "belonging to whom or which."


Who's is a contraction of who is or who has. Notice the apostrophe replacing the missing letters.
