Can anyone give me a lucid explanation of why the 的 is used in sentences like the thread name as well as
問他的
他教我的
我會想你的
Or a referral would be great too.
Thanks!

Perhaps. Using passive voice sounds less aggressive. For example:I've also heard this structure is more commonly used by girls, at least in Taiwan; would you agree?
If these are taken as active voice, the 的 functions as an emphasizing particle.but I think of them all as being used in the active voice.
ie:
給他的 : Give it to him.
馬可教我的: Mark taught it to me.
我會問他的: I'll ask him/her.
