【考点透析】“No matter + 疑问词”与“疑问词+ever ”的用法

1.引导状语从句

whatever, whichever, whoever, whenever, wherever, however都可引导让步状语从句相当于no matter what (which, who, when, where, how)。

1)Whatever (No matter what) you say, I believe you.

2)Whoever (No matter who) telephones, tell them I’m out.。

3)Whichever (No matter which) day you come, I’ll be pleased to see you.

4)Whenever (No matter when) you come, you are welcome.。

5)We found the people friendly wherever (no matter where) we went.

6)However（=No matter how）much he eats, he never gets fat.。

2.引导名词性从句

除了引导状语从句外，whatever, whoever, whichever还可引导名词性从句（主语从句或宾语从句），此时whatever = anything that…；whoever = anyone who…

1)He does whatever she asks him to do.

2)Whoever breaks the rules will be punished.

3)I’ll give the ticket t o whoever wants it.

4)Whichever team gains the most points wins.

5)Whichever of us gets home first starts cooking.

3.“no matter + 疑问词”结构与“疑问词+ever”的区别

1)“no matter+疑问词”结构只能引导让步状语从句，这时可以和“疑问词+ever”互换。

Wherever (=No matter where) he may be, he will be happy.

2)而“疑问词+ever”结构还可引导名词性从句。如：

Give this book to whoever (≠no matter who) likes it.

4.特别说明

1)Whatever与what

Whatever和what都可引导名词性从句，但whatever比what语气强，意为“anything that

（凡是……的事物）”

What she did was right.她做的是正确的。

Whatever she did was right.她做的一切都是正确的。

2)whoever与who

whoever不能用who来替换，who常保留本身疑问的含义，即“谁”。整个从句指整个

事件；whoever意为anyone who…，整个从句侧重指人。

Who broke the window is unknown.不知道是谁打破了窗户。

Whoever ( Anyone who) breaks the window will be punished.无论谁打破了窗户都要受到惩

罚。

3)however后必须紧跟形容词或副词，不能跟名词或代词。

4)whatever与whichever的区别

共同点：二者均可独立使用，也可作定语，其后接一个名词。不同点：whatever意为“无

论什么”，没有一定的范围限制；而whichever表示“无论哪一个；无论哪些”，有一

定的限制范围。

Eat whichever cake you like.

Whatever difficulty he meets, he is always keeping calm.
