whatever 用法

whatever,whoever,whichever,whenever,wherever, however用法归纳

一、引导状语从句

它们都可用来引导状语从句(让步状语从句),其大意为“无论什么(就是谁、哪一个、什么时候、什么地方、如何)”等,相当于英语中的no matter what (who, which, when, where, how)。如: Whatever [No matter what] you say, I believe you、无论您说什么,我都相信您。

Whoever [No matter who] telephones, tell them I’m out、不管就是谁打电话,都说我出去了。Whichever [No matter which] day you come, I’ll be pleasedto see you、无论您哪天来,我都欢迎。

Whenever [No matter when] you come, you are welcome、您什么时候来,我们都欢迎。

We found the people friendly wherever [no matter where] we went、无论我们走到哪里,我们都发现人们很友好。

However [No matter how] much he eats, he never gets fat、无论她吃多少,她都不发胖。

注:有时从句谓语可用情态动词:

无论她在哪里,我都要找到她。

正:I’ll find him, wherever he is、

正:I’ll find him, wherever he may be、

无论发生什么事都要保持冷静。

正:Keep calm, whatever happens、

正:Keep calm, whatever may happen另外,whoever 的宾格也就是whoever, 而不就是whomever, 后者在现代英语已基本不用,有的词典已不收录此词。如:

Whoever you marry, make sure he can cook、不管您跟谁结婚,她一定要会做饭才行。

二、引导名词性从句

除引导状语从句外,whatever, whoever, whichever等还可引导名词性从句(主语从句或宾语从句)。如:

He does whatever she asks him to do、她要她做什么,她就做什么。

I will just say whatever comes into my mind、我想到什么就说什么。

Whoever breaks the rules will be punished、谁违反这些规则都将受到处罚。

I’ll give the ticket to whoever wants it、请想要这票,我就把它给谁。

Whichever team gains the most points wins、哪个队得分最多,哪个队就赢。

Whichever of us gets home first starts cooking、我们当中无论哪个先到家,哪个就先开始做饭。

三、用于加强语气

有时用于加强语气,含有“究竟”、“到底”之义。如:

Whatever [What ever] do you mean? 您到底就是什么意思?

Whenever [When ever] did you find time to do it? 您什么时候有空做这事?

Wherever [Where ever] can the children be? 孩子们究竟会在哪里呢?

Whoever [Who ever] told you that? 到底就是谁告诉您的呢?

Whichever [Which ever] did you choose? 您到底选了哪个?

However [How ever] did you escape? 您到底就是怎样逃出来的?

“ No matter+ 疑问词”与“疑问词＋ever ”用法透析

1、“ No matter ＋疑问词”意为“无论……”、“不论……”,用来引导让步状语从句。如: no matter who / whom (无论谁), no matter what (无论什么), no matter which (无论哪一个), no matter how (无论怎样)等。如:

You are always welcome no matter where you are、

无论在何地,您总就是会受到欢迎的。

No matter what may happen, they've decided to leave this evening、

不管发生什么事,她们已决定今晚离开。

No matter who you may be, you have no right to do such a thing、

不论您就是谁,您都无权做这样的事。

No matter when my motherland needs me, I will go without hesitation、

无论什么时候,只要祖国需要我,我都会毫不犹豫地出发。

No matter how hard it may be, I will carry it out、

无论此事有多难,我都会去做。

2、“疑问词＋ever ”相当于“ no matter + 疑问词”, ever 本就是一个加强语气的词,加在疑问词后面作后缀,不仅使疑问词的语气加强,而且变为具有让步意义的一个复合词,可用于引导让步状语从句。例如:

Whoever ( No matter who ) breaks the law, he should be punished、

无论谁违反法律,都应该受到惩罚。

Whatever you do, you must do it well、

不管做什么事,您都要做好。

Whatever problem you have, turn to me、

不管您有什么问题,都可以找我帮忙。

She is willing to help you, however busy she is、

无论多忙,她都愿意帮助您。

Wherever he is, he will be thinking of you、

无论在哪儿,她都会想着您。

3、虽然“ no matter ＋疑问词”与“疑问词＋ever ”都可以用来引导让步状语从句,但后者的用途更广,这类词( whoever, whatever, whichever, whenever, wherever 等)还可用来引导主语从句、宾语从句、时间或地点状语从句等。例如:

Whoever comes to the party will receive a gift、

(主语从句)来参加晚会的人都会收到一份礼物。

比较: Whoever comes to the party, he will receive a gift、(让步状语从句)＝No matter who comes to the party, he will receive a gift、

无论谁来参加晚会,都会收到一份礼物。

You can take whichever book you like best、(宾语从句)您可以拿走您喜欢的任何一本书。Whenever we see him, we speak to him、(时间状语从句)每当我们见到她时,我们都跟她说话。

一、注意从句的时态

由no matter what/who/where/when…引导的从句往往用一般现在时或一般过去时。如:No matter who you are, you must obey the rules、无论您就是谁,都应该遵守规则。

二、注意被修饰的名词、形容词以及副词的位置

no matter what/whose/which修饰名词时,该名词必须紧跟其后;no matter how修饰形容词或副词时,该形容词或副词也必须紧跟其后。如:No matter how hard he works, he find it difficult to make ends meet、无论她多么努力工作,却总就是入不敷出。

三、注意“no matter+疑问词”结构与“疑问词+ever”在用法上的区别

1、“no matter+疑问词”结构只能引导让步状语从句,这时可以与“疑问词+ever”互换。如:No matter where he may be (=Wherever he may be), he will be happy、她无论在什么地方都快乐。

2、而“疑问词+ever”还可以引导名词性从句。如:Give this book to whoever likes it、谁喜欢这本书就给谁吧。(这里不能用no matter who。)

3、whoever既可引导名词性从句,又有在从句中作主语、宾语、表语等;whomever也可引导名词性从句,但只能在从句中作宾语。如:You may invite whomever you like、

4、whatever表示“无论什么”,没有一定的范围限制;whichever表示“无论哪一个、无论哪些”,其后可接一个名词。如:Eat whichever cake you like、

however用法详解

一、考点描述

however就是高考英语中一个十分重要的考点,近几年来每年的各省考题均有所涉及。请瞧两道典型高考真题:

1、You should try to get a good night’s sleep _____ much work you have to do、

A、however

B、no matter

C、although

D、whatever

【分析】答案选A。however作连接副词时,与no matter how相当,后接形容词或副词,意为“无论……”“不管……”。句意就是:不管您有多少工作要做,您都应该好好休息一个晚上。

2、He tried his best to solve the problem, _____ difficult it was、

A、however

B、no matter

C、whatever

D、although

【分析】答案选A。因difficult就是形容词,修饰形容词要用连接副词however(无论如何,不管多么),引导一个让步状语从句。

二、用法详解

不管however以何种形式出现在高考题中,它都不外乎以下两种用法。

1、用作副词

(1) 表示让步:意为“无论如何”“不管怎样”,用来修饰形容词或副词,其词序为:however+形容词或副词+主语+谓语。这样用的however其实具有连词的功能,用以引导让步状语从句。如: Phone me when you arrive, however late it is、您到达之后就给我打电话,不论多么晚也要打。however much he eats, he never gets fat、不管她吃多少,她永远吃不胖。

however cold it is, he always goes swimming、不管天有多冷,她都去游泳。

You won’t move the stone, however strong you are、不管您力气有多大,也休想搬动那块石头。however far it is, l intend to drive there tonight 不管有多远,我今晚也要开车到那儿去。

用于此用法时,请注意以下几点:

①此用法属however所有用法中最重要的考点,同学们务请引起高度重视。

②这样用的however与no matter how 大致同义。如:

People always want more, however [no matter how] rich they are、人总就是富了还想再富。however [No matter how] hard I worked, she was never satisfied、无论我多么努力地工作,她从来没满意过。

③有时从句谓语可用情态动词。如:

Don’t laugh, however funny it may be、无论多么有趣也不要笑。

I’ll try to finish it in time, however hard it may be、无论多么难,我也要按时完成。

④“however＋形容词或副词＋主语＋谓语”有时可以有所省略。如:

I refuse, however favorable the conditions、不管条件如何有利,我都不干。(conditions后省去了are)

I’d rather have a room of my own, however small (it is), than share a room、无论房间多么小,我宁愿一个人住一间,而不愿意与别人合住一个房间。

A grammar rule, however true (it is), is useless unless it can be understood、一条语法规则,不管如何正确,除非能懂,否则毫无用处。

(2) 表示转折:尤其用于谈及一个既成事实时,表示转折,其意为“可就是”“仍然”等。可放在句首、句中或句末,通常用逗号与句子其她成分隔开。如:

My father, however, did not agree、但就是,我父亲不同意。

My room is small; however, it’s comfortable、我的房间很小,但却很舒服。

He said that it was so; he was mistaken, however、她说情况如此,可就是她错了。

注:however不能像but(但就是)那样直接连接两个句子(注意正句中的标点符号)。如:

我们都已尽了最大的努力,不过我们还就是输了。

误:We all tried our best, however we lost the game、

正:We all tried our best, but we lost the game、

正:We all tried our best; however, we lost the game、

正:We all tried our best、however, we lost the game、

(3) 表示惊奇或强调:相当于how ever的用法,其意为“究竟怎样,到底以什么方式”。如: however did you get here without a car? 没有汽车您究竟就是怎样来的呢?

however does he manage to write music when he is so deaf? 她聋成这个样子,究竟就是怎样从事作曲的呢?

2、用作连词

用作连词,引导方式状语从句,表示“无论以何种方式”“不管怎样”。如:

however it may be, I shall take your word、无论如何,我将会相信您的话。
