Lesson Overview
About this worksheet
Whose and who’s sound the same, so writers mix them up. This worksheet teaches the simple test – if you can say ‘who is’ or ‘who has,’ use who’s with an apostrophe; otherwise use whose to show belonging.
The reference box and Section A are on page 1. The reference box explains the test with examples. Section A has eight fill-in-the-blank items. Section B on page 2 has four short-response questions.
Page 3 is a complete answer key with answers for every item. The worksheet pairs well with the Its vs It’s and Your vs You’re worksheets.
