Sorry, but that’s a bit like doing homework. You’d need to make an attempt at each and we can then help you.
But we are not allowed to just do what you are asking. There are many, many webpages on the internet to help you with this sort of thing.

‘That’ is a demonstrative adjective.
«That car belongs to Steve.»

«That» is just a demonstrative pronoun. We could, for instance, point to a car and say «Whose car is that?» as a shorthand way of saying «Whose car is that car?» But we could also point to a pile of wreckage where a grand piano has just fallen on a car and say «Whose car is that?» In other words, we don’t have to mean «Whose car is that [pile of wreckage]?» or «Whose car is that [car]?»; we normally just mean «Whose car is that [thing we are pointing to]?»
yellow sun, what kind of verb is «is»? Does it normally have subjects and objects?

Are you sure about that? If the sentence was, «Whose is that?» I’d say it’s a demonstrative pronoun. Since the sentence is, «Whose car is that?» I’d say it’s a demonstrative adjective.
The inverses being:
«That is Steve’s.» (demonstrative pronoun)
«That car is Steve’s.» (demonstrative adjective)

But it’s not «Whose car is that car?» The sentence is «Whose car is that?» We don’t actually know whether «that» means «that car» or «that one» or «that set of disassembled car parts.»
Since «that» could be anything I’m pointing to, it seems to me to be a pronoun and not an adjective (since no object is implied).

Hmm, perhaps. I’m definitely sticking to adjective though since I’d infer it is indeed the car. Granted, you could be right if it were not the car being pointed out.
Subsequently, didn’t your example above allude to it being ‘that car’? Unless I read it incorrectly?
We are in agreement though, that if indeed the car were ‘that’ then it’s an adjective, yeah?

I still don’t think so, because we wouldn’t say «My car is this» or «Steve’s car is that.» In other words, I don’t think that demonstrative adjectives are normally used predicatively.
I think we should maybe wait for a more expert grammarian.

The sentence «Steve’s car is that one» answers the question, «Which car is Steve’s?»

Let’s not confuse two things.
1. You can say anything in response to a question. If someone asks «Whose car is that?» you can say «That’s Steve’s car,» or say «That car is Steve’s,» or «That one,» or «This is Steve’s car,» or you could point to the car, or you could say «I’m not telling,» or you could scream.
2. We need to discuss the minimum transformation that turns a question into a statement and vice-versa. For that reason, I do agree with Einstein. «Steve’s» replaces «whose» when we move from question to statement. The problem with going from «Whose car is that?» to «That car is Steve’s» is that it breaks up the phrase «whose/Steve’s car.» As such it isn’t the minimum transformation.

Как использовать «whose» в вопросах
Whose употребляется и как местоимение, и как вопросительное слово. Мы задаем вопрос, начинающийся с «whose», когда хотим узнать, кому принадлежит что-либо, ассоциируется с ним или имеет непосредственную связь.
1. Использование «whose» в вопросах о принадлежности чего-либо кому-либо:
«I found this pen. Whose is it?» (Я нашел ручку. Чья она?)
«It’s mine. I lost it yesterday.» (Моя. Я потерял ее вчера.)
«I found this bag of books under the desk. Whose could it be?» (Я нашел эту сумку с книгами под столом. Чья это может быть сумка?)
«It must belong to one of the students.» (Должно быть, это одного из студентов.)
«I found these tools in the garage. Whose are they?» (Я нашел эти инструменты в гараже. Чьи они?)
«They’re Tom’s. I borrowed them from him to repair the windows.» (Это Тома. Я взял их у него вчера, чтобы починить окно.)
«Whose notebooks are these?» (Чьи это блокноты?)
«They belong to the journalist who was here this morning.» (Они принадлежат журналистам, которые были здесь сегодня утром.)
«Whose dog was run over in the street?» (Чью собаку сбили на улице?)
«It was my neighbour’s dog. She’s very upset.» (Это была собака моей соседки. Она очень расстроена.)
«Whose car was stolen from the car park?» (Чью машину украли с парковки?)
«The marketing manager’s.» (Менеджера по маркетингу.)
Заметка: В первых трех примерах «whose» использовалось в качестве местоимения. В трех последних примерах «whose» является определительным словом перед существительным.
Не забывайте о написании этого слова. Часто его путают c «who’s», которое представляет собой сокращенную форму от «who is».
2. Использование «whose» в вопросах о связи или ассоциации кого-либо с чем-либо:
«Whose fault was it?» (Чья это была вина?)
«We don’t know yet. In fact, the fire could have been accidental.» (Мы еще не знаем. Фактически, пожар мог произойти случайно.)
«Whose responsibility is it to lock up the office after the cleaners have gone?» (Кто ответственен за закрытие офиса после того, как уйдут уборщики?)
«The caretaker should do that.» (Сторожа должны это делать.)
« Whose job is it to send out information to shareholders?» (Кто должен отсылать информацию акционерам?)
«It’s the managing director’s secretary who does that.» (Секретарь главного менеджера должен это делать.)
3. Можно также использовать «whose» само по себе, особенно при ответе кому-то:
«I know whose car that is.» (Я знаю, чья это машина.)
«Whose?» (Чья?)
«It belongs to the new designer.» (Она принадлежит новому дизайнеру.)
«I’ve found out whose dog it was that attacked you.» (Я понял, чья собака на тебя напала.)
«Whose?» (Чья?)
«It’s our new next-door neighbour’s.» (Это собака нашего нового соседа.)

Hello, I need some help about using «whose».
Whose is this car?
Whose this car is?
Wich one is correct. Maybe both of them?
The context could be: I am seing a car and I ask a person for the owner.

Sí, hay una diferencia entre «Whose car is that?» y «¨Whose is that car?» Whose car is that pone el énfasis en la person. Y Whose is that car pone énfasis en el carro (sino «that»).
Entonces en la primera hay ambiguedad, puede estar un carro o varios. Pero, en la segunda hay muchos carros y quieres saber de quien es ese carro.

Both phrases will work. Other simple options would be to ask, «Who does the car belong to?» or «Who owns the car?»
Hope that helps,

«Whose this car is?» is a wrong sentence.
Michael Visser

Sentencia está mal.
The correct sentence is » Whose car is this?»
» Con el coche es este?»
Else you can ask «Who is the owner of this car?»
«¿Quién es el propietario de este coche?»

En este caso puedes decir: Whose is this car? Y esto solo sea yo, pero me parece muy formal y un poco anticuado. Es posible que los bretaños utilicen este orden de palabras, no sé. A mí lo más natural es decir Whose car is this? Si puedes acordarte de la frase ¿Cuyo coche es este? puedes ver que el orden de las palabras es muy parecido en las dos lenguas. De todos modos, Whose this car is? no es correcto. Espero que esto te ayudare. ¡Sí, he hecho el futuro de subjuntivo! Muahaha!
P.S. Quiero añadir que Agró no tiene razón. Aunque es correcto decir Whose car is that? No es correcto decir that cuando querías decir this. Como tendría que corregir a un estudiante de habla inglesa que quiere decir esa/e/o en vez de esta/e/o.

Gracias, doctor, por recordarme la diferencia entre ‘this’ y ‘that’.
A los de Gran Bretaña se les llama «británicos», no «bretaños».
A propósito de lenguaje formal y anticuado, ¿Cúyo coche es este? dejó de utilizarse varios siglos antes de que existieran los coches, y no creo que pueda ayudar a ningún estudiante de inglés menor de 50 años, porque seguramente no entenderá esa frase.
Sí, ha formado usted un futuro de subjuntivo, pero mejor olvídese de este tiempo verbal. Más que anticuado es un fósil.
