　　AEIS考试教材中，whose和who’s有一些容易混淆的用法，那如何区分呢?一起跟着AEIS在线来看看吧。

　　Apostrophes often get people into trouble, so it’s no surprise that people often struggle with whose vs. who’s. Though it is a fairly common error, it is also fairly easy to avoid.

　　撇号经常会给人带来误解之处，因此，对于whose和who’s的使用也常常使人很多人纠结。这是非常常见的错误，也较容易避免。

　　Whose和who's有下面这些错误用法：

　　1.没有任何人会比你对自己的电影更有信心。

　　翻译为： There’s no one whose (应为who's)going to believe in your movie more than you.

　　2.安的儿子即将准备入学，这对于像安一样的父母来说，并不能很好地接受。

　　翻译为：It was not well received by parents like Anne, who’s (应为whose)son is just getting ready to start school.

　　Who's是‘who is’或‘who has’的缩写词：

　　I’m the one who’s going to be held responsible.

　　我是应该承担责任的那个人。

　　Paul’s a student who’s been in Canada on a student visa since 2009.

　　保罗是一个加拿大的学生，他持有2009年的学生签证。

　　Whose是一个物主限定代词，表示“某人的”:

　　87 % of the respondents are supportive of fines for parents whose children engage in antisocial behaviour.

　　87%的调查对象认为，孩子参与了反社会行为，他们的父母应该被处以罚款。

　　Whose turn is it to wash up?

　　这次该轮到谁洗餐具了?

　　You can keep from mixing these two up by remembering that who’s is another contraction. It’s formed from the pronoun who plus is (the third person singular of the verb ‘to be’), or has (the third person singular of the verb ‘to have’). The apostrophe stands for the omitted ‘i’ of ‘is’ or the ‘ha’ of ‘has’. One easy way to tell the two apart is by seeing if you can expand the contraction into two words or not.

　　可以通过记住who’s是一种缩写形式从而防止将二者混淆。Who’s由代词who和is(动词‘to be’的第三人称单数形式)或者has(动词‘to has’的第三人称单数形式)形成。撇号代表‘is’中省略的‘i’，或者‘has’中省略的‘ha’。一种简单的区分二者的方法是是否可以将所需的单词扩展成两个单独的词。
