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."

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."
