Who, whose & who's

Who = Wie
Whose = van wie of wiens en geeft dus bezit aan
Who’s = een samentrekking van:     who + is     OF     who + has
                                                                             wie is                  wie heeft

Whose and who's sound the same...

How do you know which one to use?

The easiest way is to remember that who’s is a contraction – it is short for who is or who has.
Whose is used when something belongs to someone.
 
If who is or who has doesn’t fit in the sentence, then the word whose will probably be used.

Examples whose & who's

Whose puppy is it?  Van wie is die/de puppy?

Who's late today?     Who is late today?

Whose coat is this?   Van wie is deze jas?
Who's coming to the party?   Who is coming to the party?
