定語從句中whose的用法whose引導(dǎo)的定語從句是語法重點。

一、whose為who的所有格，作“某(些)人的……”解，它所指代的先行詞必須是人，其引導(dǎo)的定語從句修飾它的先行詞，同時它本身在從句中作定語。

　　This is the little girl whose parents were killed in the great earthquake.這就是在那次大地震中失去雙親的那個小姑娘。

　　The boss in whose department Mr King worked called at the hospital.金先生工作單位的老板到醫(yī)院來探視。(限制性定語從句)
