Whose audio micro-course (transcript)
Podcast 1 — Introduction & meaning
Narrator: Whose is a possessive pronoun asking or telling who something belongs to — for people and things: Whose bag is this?
Narrator: Say HOOZ. IPA: /huːz/. Looks like who plus -se, but whose is the possessive, not who is.
Narrator: Old English hwæs evolved into whose. It questions ownership without needing apostrophe — whose never takes one.
Narrator: Editors once fussed over whose for objects; modern English accepts Whose fault was it? as standard.
Narrator: Do not confuse whose with who's, the contraction of who is or who has.
Narrator: Register is neutral. Whose works in formal forms and everyday lost-and-found desks alike.
Narrator: It differs from who's, which expands to who is, and from of which, which is clunky for people.
Narrator: Closing line: whose points at ownership — one word, no apostrophe, no guesswork.

Podcast 2 — In conversation
Speaker A: Whose phone is buzzing on the table — yours or mine?
Speaker B: Everyday possessive question. Natural in speech and writing.
Speaker A: Not who's?
Speaker B: Example: Who's coming tonight means who is coming. Whose coat is this means who owns the coat — different word entirely.
Speaker A: Relative clause?
Speaker B: Example: The author whose book we read visited the school. Whose links author to book — possession inside a longer sentence.
Speaker A: Synonyms?
Speaker B: Of whom is formal and clunky. Whose is the clean possessive for who.
Speaker A: Mistake to avoid?
Speaker B: Never write who's when you need whose. Read aloud: if who is fits, use who's; if ownership fits, use whose.
Speaker A: Ownership test saves you.
Speaker B: Exactly. No apostrophe in whose ever.
Podcast 3 — Prompt engineering

Speaker B: Whose in prompts marks ownership lookup flows.
Speaker A: Database query?
Speaker B: Second — whose owner filter:
Prompt: Create SQL helper list_files whose owner_id equals current user — include shared flag, sort by modified desc, explain whose maps to owner column in API docs.
Speaker B: Plain English whose clarifies possessive filter for APIs.
Speaker A: Grammar linter?
Speaker B: Third — whose vs who's check:
Prompt: Add CMS linter catching who's before noun — suggest whose if ownership context, show expand test who is versus possessive, ignore inside quotes.
Speaker B: Writing tools target whose who's confusion directly.
Speaker A: Asset management?

Speaker B: Sixth — complete MVP:
Prompt: Scaffold WhoseFind MVP with item form, owner filter, and linter. Use the loop: find, ask, match, return, confirm.
