Learn English – “Whose car is this red one?” vs “whose red car is this?”

grammaticalityusage

I would like to know if it's OK to add a descriptive phrase between whose and the thing owned, i.e, car:

Whose amazingly painted white house is this?

Whose red car is this?

Do these sound OK? If yes, do they sound better than the following?

Whose house is this amazingly painted white one?

Whose car is this red one?

Best Answer

All four of your sentences are correct.

Which ones are better is an opinion. Your first ones draw attention to the characteristics whereas your second sentences draw attention first to the object.

They might usually be expressed as

Who owns this amazingly painted white house?
Who owns the red car?

Drawing attention to the purpose of the question, ownership.
