定语从句中whose的用法whose引导的定语从句是语法重点。

一、whose为who的所有格，作“某(些)人的……”解，它所指代的先行词必须是人，其引导的定语从句修饰它的先行词，同时它本身在从句中作定语。

　　This is the little girl whose parents were killed in the great earthquake.这就是在那次大地震中失去双亲的那个小姑娘。

　　Mr King，whose legs were badly hurt，was quickly taken to hospital.金先生的腿受了重伤，很快就被送往医院。(whose修饰定语从句中的主语legs)

　　The boss in whose department Mr King worked called at the hospital.金先生工作单位的老板到医院来探视。(限制性定语从句)
