Question

OF WHICH 和 WHOSE的区别?

THE WHITE BUILDING,____THE ROOF WAS DAMAGED IN THE BIG FIRE LAST NIGHT, IS ACTUALLY A SMALL HOSPITAL.
为什么填OF WHICH 呢?和WHOSE有啥区别啊?

Answer 1

首先两者在语法上讲都没有毛病，关键在于roof前面的定冠词the，如果没有the选whose绝对正确，没有its the roof 只有its roof，或是the roof of，
但是为什么of which在这里可以放到 句子开头呢，我个人认为从句采用了倒装结构，应该是The white building, the roof of which ........但很明显，句子看上去主语混乱，所以前置of定语，其实做这种题完全可以靠语感， 读到whose the。。。。明显有问题了。

Answer 2

whose 直译为谁的，主语为人，the buiding 为物，不能为whose
这个句子为倒装句，可以把它转为：the roof of the white buiding was damaged in the big fire last night,is actually a small hospital.
空格中填的of which 的which 是指the white buiding

Answer 3

OF WHICH引导定语从句不能用于句首而WHOSE可以用于句首

Answer 4

...不能用WHOSE嘛？？？
