PRONOMES RELATIVOS – WHOSE, WHEN E WHERE

Se whose tem um feitio muito possessive e está a dizer quem possui o quê, where e when para lá caminham e
marcam o lugar e o tempo de tudo o que se vê.

E lá vamos nós.
whose
That’s the man. I hate his name.

That’s Lisbon. I adore its light

That’s the baby. Its mother is away.

Para a 1.ª frase fazes assim:


Rodas a última peça até ficar ao contrário.

That’s the man. I hate his name.

E tiras o possessivo.
That’s the man whose his name I hate.

E as outras frases? Pois é, ficam assim: Aqui só tiras o possessivo, pois as peças já começavam com her.

That’s Lisbon whose light I adore. That’s the baby whose the mother is away.

Com estas três frases verificas que whose se emprega sempre que exista um possuidor e algo que lhe pretença: o
homem tem um nome, Lisboa tem uma certa luz e o bebé tem uma mãe. Verificarás, ainda que whose se traduz
por cujo(a) (ex.: Este é o homem cujo nome eu detesto.).

Falta falarmos de where e when.

That’s Lisbon where I got married. That’s the year when I got married.
