Curiosity About Relative Clauses

Post by berrakd »

Hello,

I was wondering if we can use "possessive 's " on relative clauses.

As an example, "I own a pair of shoes which's shoelace is pink."

It sounds usable but one of my teachers got mad at me when I used it when I was in prep school {-:

No!

The correct form is "whose" (for things & people).
