慶英会 塾長|慶應義塾大学卒・英検1級
中高一貫校の学校英語・NEW TREASURE・英検対策を専門とするオンライン個別指導塾です。塾長紹介
英検2級の長文でwhoseが出てくると、who・which・thatとの違いが分からなくなる方へ。whoseは、名詞の所有者や所属先を示す関係代名詞です。whose+名詞という形になり、人だけでなく学校・企業・図書館・物についても使えます。
慶英会が独自制作した4択20問・2文の書き換え12問・独自4長文の内容一致12問=44問を、全正答・根拠・日本語解説付きで無料公開します。公式過去問の転載ではありません。
結論|whoseの直後には「所有されるもの」の名詞が続く
| 関係詞 | 例文 | 働き |
|---|---|---|
| whose | The scientist whose research I read… | その研究者の研究 |
| who | The scientist who visited us… | 訪問した人が主語 |
| which | The report which explains the result… | 結果を説明する報告書が主語 |
| whom | The person whom we thanked… | 感謝を伝えた相手・目的語 |
| where | The room where we studied… | 学習した場所 |
物にもwhose:a library whose roof was damagedは自然な英文です。「人にはwhose、物にはwhich」という単純な区分は誤りです。
英検2級の公式出題形式との関係
英検協会の2級試験内容ではReading短文空所17問・長文空所6問・長文内容一致8問が出題されます。whoseだけの独立大問はなく、長い英文の修飾・所有関係を理解するための補強教材です。

よくある質問
whoseは学校や建物にも使えますか?
はい。a school whose library is openやa library whose roof was damagedも自然な英文です。
whoseとwhoの違いは?
whoseは所有・所属関係を表し、後ろに名詞が続きます。whoは人を指し、関係詞節の主語などになります。
whoseとwho’sは同じですか?
いいえ。whoseは所有、who’sはwho isまたはwho hasの省略形です。
whoseをof whichに書き換えられますか?
物を先行詞にした所有関係では、より形式的なthe roof of whichなども可能ですが、語順が変わります。
