As a question word, “whose” can only refer to people.
Whose leaves are shaped like stars? = Which person has star-shaped leaves?
(If I want to ask about the tree: “Which tree’s leaves are shaped like stars?”)
As a relative pronoun, it can refer to any possessive.
This is the tree whose leaves are shaped like stars.
(This is the tree. Its leaves are shaped like stars.)

Grammar: Relative clauses (sometimes adjective clauses)
- These give more information about a noun in the sentence.
- They begin with a relative pronoun
who = a person or people
	This is the man. He lives next to me. -> This is the man who lives next to me.
which = a thing or things
	This is the book. I finished it yesterday. -> This is the book which I finished yesterday.
that = who or which (We can use “that” instead, if there’s no comma or preposition first.)
	This is the man that lives next to me.
	This is the book that I finished yesterday.
when = a time
	2001 was the year. I graduated then. -> 2001 was the year when I graduated.
where = a place or location
	This is the restaurant. I ate here yesterday. -> This is the restaurant where I ate yesterday.
whose = a possessive
	This is the woman. Her arm was amputated. -> This is the woman whose arm was amputated.
---
You can eliminate “that” if it’s not the subject of the relative clause.
---

Grammar: Second Conditional = present/future unreal conditional
	(First = future real: If you study, you will pass the exam.)
	(Second = present/future unreal: If you studied more, you would pass your exams.)
	(Third = past unreal: If I had studied, I would have passed my exam.)
Meaning:
1st: If I win the lottery, I’ll buy a house. = I think it’s a real possibility.
2nd: If I won the lottery, I’d buy a house. = I don’t think it’s a real possibility (perhaps because I never buy lottery tickets).
Form:
if + [past (without “was”)], subject + would/could/might + base form
(If you switch the order, you don’t need a comma.)
---
If I were rich…
	I would buy a house. = I definitely would buy a house because I want a house.
	I might buy a house. = I don’t know what I would do. Maybe I’d buy a house.
	I could buy a house. = I would have enough money to be able to buy a house.
