Here's why:
* Homonyms are words that sound the same but have different meanings and often different spellings.
Let's break down the differences:
* "Whos" is the contraction of "who is" or "who has". It's used in questions or statements like:
* Whos going to the party?
* Whos been eating my cookies?
* "Whose" is a possessive pronoun, showing ownership. It's used like this:
* Whose dog is that?
* This is the house whose windows are broken.
While they sound identical, they have different meanings and grammatical functions, making them classic examples of homonyms.
