Relative pronouns
Hello!
I love The Grammar Game Show series!
Regarding the topic of this video, while teaching using the book of the school where I teach, I stumbled across the following sentence:
They saw a friend whose car was black.
and the book indicated that whose refers to a thing (car), not a person.
However, there is a second sentence with similar structure:
This is the man whose farm has many cattle.
and the book indicated that whose in this case refers to a person (man) and I got confused. Any help would be very welcomed.
Have a nice day and keep up with the amazing work!
