看whatever引导的从句在主句中做什么成分。如果是做主语、宾语、表语、同位语,则引导的是名词性从句,否则便是状语从句。
引导名词性从句
用于引导名词性从句(主要是引导主语从句和宾语从句),其意相当于anything that或everything that。如:
Whatever she did was right. 她做的一切都是对的。
He does whatever she asks him to do. 她要他做什么,他就做什么。
I will just say whatever comes into my mind. 我想到什么就说什么。
引导让步状语从句
用于引导让步状语从句,其意相当于no matter what。如:
Whatever happens, don’t forget to write. 无论怎样别忘了写信。
Whatever you say, I won’t believe you. 不管你说什么,我决不相信你的话。
引导让步状语从句时,从句谓语有时可以用“may+动词原形”代替一般现在时。如:
Keep calm, whatever happens [may happen]. 无论发生什么事都要保持冷静。
Whatever reasons he gives [may give], they can only be excuses. 无论他提出什么理由,那只可能是借口。
whatever例句
1、Franklin was free to do pretty much whatever he pleased

2、We shall love you whatever happens, Diana
戴安娜,不管发生什么,我们都爱你。
3、There is no evidence whatever that competition in broadcasting has ever reduced costs
没有任何证据表明,广播业的竞争使成本有所降低。
4、Whatever can you mean?
你到底是什么意思?
5、I thought that my upbringing was 'normal', whatever that is
