Whose

Whose pen is this? - It's mine. To whom does this pen belong? - It belongs to me.
Whose car did you borrow? - Kevin's. Who is the owner of the car you borrowed? - Kevin.

Whose is this? To whom does this belong? Who owns this?

Our C.E.O., whose father was a dentist, has a nice smile. The father of our C.E.O., who has a nice smile, is a dentist.
Note 3: We say: Whose car is this? but Whom does this car belong to?.
