Who's vs Whose | Common English Vocabulary Mistake

Hello, guys. Time for a quick listening test today.

大家好。

今天是时候进行快速听力测试了。

非常仔细地听我说。

Listen to me very carefully. ‘Whose mother is this?’

“这是谁的母亲？”

Now what am I saying? ‘Who’s’? or ‘Whose’?

现在我在说什么？

'谁是'？或“谁的”？

What do you think? If you don't know, or if you have difficulty

你怎么认为？

如果您不知道，

或者您对“谁”和“谁的”有困难，

with ‘who's’ and ‘whose’, This video is for you.

那么此视频适合您。继续观看。

Keep on watching. Hi, guys. My name is Fanny.

嗨，大家好。我叫范妮。

And in this video, I'm going to explain to you the difference between ‘who's’

在这个视频中，

我将向您解释

“谁”“谁+撇号+ s”

‘who + apostrophe + s’ And ‘whose’ in one word, ‘whose’.

和“谁”之间的区别，用一个词“谁”来表示。

Now it's very simple but it's very confusing, because they both sound the same.

现在很简单，但很令人困惑，

因为它们听起来都一样。

So even native speakers make a lot of mistakes. Okay?

所以即使是母语人士也会犯很多错误。

好的？

So listen to me very carefully. It's very simple.

所以请非常仔细地听我说。

这很简单。

‘who’s’ ‘who + apostrophe + s’ is the contraction

'who's'

'who + 撇号 + s' 是动词 'to be' 的缩写。

of the verb ‘to be’. So it's actually ‘who is’.

所以它实际上是“谁是”。

If I say, ‘who's on the phone?’, it’s ‘who is on the phone’.

如果我说“谁在打电话？”，

那就是“谁在打电话”。

‘whose’ in one word ‘whose’ is the possessive.

“谁的”一词中的“谁的”是所有格。

这意味着它属于谁。

It means who does it belong to. For example, ‘whose bag is this?’ meaning

例如，“这是谁的包？”

‘who does this bag belong to?’ And you can say, ‘It's my bag.’

意思是“这个包属于谁？”

你可以说，“这是我的包。”

‘It's your bag.’ It's a possessive.

“这是你的包。”

这是一种占有欲。

如果您真的不知道，

If you really don't know just try and replace the ‘s’ or ‘se’ with the verb to be.

请尝试用动词 to be 替换“s”或“se”。

And see if it works. If it works, then it's the contraction of

看看它是否有效。

如果它有效，那么它就是动词“to be”的缩写。

the verb ‘to be’. Let's see together with a few examples.

我们一起来看几个例子。

First, ‘Who's calling?’ Which one is it?

首先，“谁打来的电话？”

哪一个？

Is it the contraction of the verb ‘to be’ or is it the possessive?

是动词“to be”的缩写

还是所有格？

Can you say, ‘Who is calling?’ Does that work?

你能说“谁打来的电话吗？”

那样有用吗？是的，它确实。

Yes, it does. So it is the contraction of the verb to be

所以动词的缩写是“谁在打电话？”

‘Who is calling?’ Now a second example, well, Let's take our

现在是第二个例子，

让我们来看第一个例子。

very first example. ‘Whose mother is this?’

“这是谁的母亲？”

Which one is it? Is it the verb ‘to be’?

哪一个？

是动词“to be”吗？或者是所有格？

Or Is it the possessive? Can you say ‘Who is mother is this?’

你能说“这是谁的妈妈吗？”

No. You can't. It's incorrect.

不，你不能。

这是不正确的。

It's the possessive. ‘Whose mother is this?’

这是占有欲。

“这是谁的母亲？”

这是我的母亲。这是你的母亲。

It's my mother. It's your mother.

It's his mother. Okay? Now one final example.

这是他的母亲。

好的？现在是最后一个例子。

‘Who's in the house?’ Come on, guys.

“谁在屋子里？”

拜托了伙计们。哪一个？

Which one is it? Is it the verb ‘to be’ or is it the possessive?

是动词“to be”还是所有格？

It's obviously the verb ‘to be’. You can say ‘Who is in the house?’

显然是动词“to be”。

你可以说“谁在房子里？”好的？

Okay? I really hope you understand the difference.

我真的希望你能理解其中的区别。

这是一个非常常见的错误。

It's a very common mistake. But it's not difficult to fix, okay?

但修复起来并不困难，好吗？

So keep practicing. Practice makes perfect.

所以继续练习吧。

熟能生巧。
