It depends on how you are using the word in a sentence. Both are real words but cannot be used inerchangeably. "Who's" can only ever mean "who is"; the apostrophe denotes the omittence of a letter, in the case the letter "i" in "is." For example: Who's hosting the party? Who's that over there? A good rule to remember for this is to first see if the sentence would make sense using "who is"; this way it is easier not to mix up the different spellings. "Whose" can only refer to the question of possession, rather than to asking who someone is. For example: Whose drink is this? Whose dog are you watching? Of course you can also use the word "who" for questions of possession (who does this belong to?), but not "who's."

Which is correct WHOSE your Daddy or Who is your daddy?
You can say 'Who is your daddy'? or 'Who's your daddy?' but not 'Whose'.The common confusion between the correct usage of "whose"and "who's" results from the similarity in their pronunciation. In deciding which is correct in any given instance you should always remember that possessive pronouns never take apostrophes, even though possessive nouns do. So "Who's" can only ever mean "who is," as in "Who's going to buy the next round of drinks?" or "who has," as in "The person who's been drinking my beer is dead!""Whose" is the possessive form of "who" and is used as follows: "Whose turn is it to pay for the champagne?"They have also published a book "Common Errors in English Usage"that you might buy and sit it alongside your dictionary and your thesaurus at your elbow as you write.

The words whos and whose are antonyms context clues homonyms synonyms?
"whos" is not a word. "who's" and "whose" are homophones -- they sound identical. they are not homonyms, synonym, nor antonyms. "who's" is a contraction for "who is" or sometimes "who has" as in the examples "who's at my door?" and "who's eaten my cake?" "whose" is a possessive form of "who" -- "it was mark whose dog got into our garbage" or "whose dog is this in my garbage?" "who's" works similarly to "what's" in most sentences, one refering to people and the other to things. "whose" is the possessive of "who," just like "my" is the possessive of "i/me" and "your" is the possessive of "you."
