Who's and whose?

[Changebagsandgladrags]

Can you tell me the difference please? Is it like its (his hers and its) v it's (it is) Hopefully I have that right.

So is whose "Whose are shoes these?" and who's (who is with me on this?)?

I noticed whose on a poster today and I think I have gone all the way through life writing who's. The shame.

"who's" is a conjunction of "who is", and whose is as you have written "whose shoes are these?"

Yes - who's could also be "who has" but it's always a contraction of two words, whose just means who owns [x]. I don't know if the extra e (compared with hers, his, its) is so you don't pronounce it wozz but maybe that's a good way to remember it :) (Or hozz maybe)

Oh yes, I forgot about "who has".

are there letters missing. Ask yourself that and it'll make it obvious.
