Thank you for the quick feedback!

I think I understand how to use who, and I think I understand that whose is for a possession. I guess I’m just wondering when I’d know that I should be using whose and not who in the middle of a sentence as a relative pronoun.

Two related examples come to mind:

I am the person who likes to

I am the person whose arm is …

I didn’t know if from there it could be generalized that in this type of construction in which whose is not the first word, would a noun always follow whose but a noun would never follow who?
