Writing Prompt ~ Whose and Who's
A party of forgotten items
Hi everybody! The party we had last Sunday was simply amazing and I want to ask you out for another soon, maybe on Friday. I write to all of you because when cleaning up my house after party I found out a few things lost over my house. If you identify your item in my question, please answer me back in this very e-mail message asking for it. I'll send it to you as soon as possible. Whose mobile phone left on a table in my dinning-room is? Who's the owner of the sunglasses forgotten on the couch of my living-room? Whose blue bike left in my garden is? Who is the owner of an authentic Swiss wristwatch found in my bathroom? Whose red tablet left inside my kitchen cupboard is? Who has a little pupy that gets up to and cries out all night?
Cheers,
Daniel

Thanx for sharing the blog. Whose and Who's is really confusing but in short I understand that who indicates the person and whose indicates the possession. Is that true?
Keep in mind that "whose" used in the way you used it very colloquial. You might hear native English speakers saying the following in spoken English: "Whose is this?" They are basically leaving out the noun because you can see what they are holding up (for example a book).
In a question starting with "Whose" you will typically see it before a noun:
Whose socks are these?
Whose book is this?
I'm also an English student, but I believed your sentences which using 'whose' are a bit confusing.
I found this article about "whose vs who's" is interesting.
