(3) 用whatever, whoever, however, whenever, wherever 等引导让步状语从句:

He does whatever she asks him to do. 她要他做什么,他就做什么。

Come whenever you like. 你爱什么时候来就什么时候来。

这些词的用法应注意以下几点:

(1) 它们均可引导让步状语从句,意为“无论…”:

Whatever you say, I believe you. 无论你说什么,我都相信你。

Whoever telephones, tell them I’m out. 不管是谁打电话,都说我出去了。
