The word 'whose' is the possessive form of the pronoun 'who'.

The pronoun 'whose' functions as an interrogative pronoun and a relative pronoun.

Examples:

Whose umbrella was left in the hall? (interrogative pronoun)

The person whose umbrella is in the hall is a mystery. (relative pronoun)

The form who's is a contraction, a shortened form of the pronoun 'who' and the verb 'is'.

Example: Who is going out? Or: Who's going out? (Take the umbrella with you.)

The correct sentences is: A. Who's going to the movie tonight?The form "who's" is a contraction, a shortened form of "who is".The form "whose" is a possessive form, as in "Whose coat is this?"The form "whos" is not a word without the apostrophe.


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."
