/lit/ - Literature

Quote from my textbook:

>In "Whose is this?" "whose" and "this" are pronouns. In "Whose book i s this red one?" "whose" and "this" are determiners.

Wat. Why does the "whose" change from a pronoun to a determiner?

Last semester i took a third year course that was essay oriented and I did terrible my average will probably be C+. /lit/ how can I improve my writing? Although I am a second year student I feel like my writing has not improved since high school, are there any books out there that can help me?

I never met my father – of who my mother only spoke once – stating, “He was French.”

^Can somebody fix the grammar here? Is it who or whom? Can I get rid of the hyphens?

In return... nothing.

So I have a question about english grammar, the comperative to be exact.

What of the following is right and what is wrong and why?

I am happier than Paul.
I am more happy than Paul.

Sue is luckier than Paul.
Sue is more lucky than Paul.
