Apostroful face aceeasi treaba ca la it's si la you're. Tine locul unei litere care a disparut.
"Who's" se desface in "who is" sau in "who has": who's calling, who's been here before.
"Whose" inseamna al cui si arata astfel apartenenta (whose car is this, the man whose dog barks all night).
Cititi cu who is
Cititi propozitia cu "who is" in loc. Vedeti daca mai sta in picioare.
"Who's at the door" devine "who is at the door", deci apostroful ramane.
"Whose phone is this" nu poate deveni "who is phone is this", deci se scrie fara.
Daca testul cu "who is" nu merge, incercati si cu "who has". Apostroful acopera practic amandoua situatiile.
Regula de fond este aceeasi ca la its si it's. Pronumele care arata posesia nu primesc niciodata apostrof in engleza.
