I understand that who is appropriate in place of which when it’s being used to modify a person. Is it the case that after who the word will always be a verb? By that taken, is the word, whose, always appropriate for modifying a person as well, but when the word following it would be a noun? I’m trying to think of a way to recognize that whose is appropriate as a possessive word.
