Question

State whether true or false.

The sentence mentioned below is grammatically correct.

The gentleman, whose dog was astray, was found on the streets. [Intermediate]

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

This statement is correct. Hence, Option A, 'True' is the correct answer. The relative pronoun, 'whose' is used to show belonging or association to living or animate objects. A relative pronoun is a pronoun which is used to refer to a noun (any person, place, thing or idea) that was previously mentioned or heard of. In this sentence, the gentleman is a person and a living object. Thereby, 'whose' is the correct pronoun to refer to the gentleman.
