Whose
Hello. Is the usage of 'whose' limited to indicate possession?
For example:
The boy whose hair is violet was found. (The boy possesses the violet hair.)
But what about examples like the following:
- The magazines whose articles were examined are . . .
- The scholarly periodicals whose book reviews were studied are the following . . .
Thank you!!!
