Correct use Whoever Whatever Whichever & more
Learn more about Whoever Whatever Whichever & more : Today we will learn wh + ever, if we add ‘ever’ to ‘wh, then what will happen?
We know – ‘Wh word’ is called question word. Because we use ‘Wh word’ to know a lot of information about a person or an object. More over ‘Wh word’ helps us to ask questions. For example –
Who – Used to know about a person
What – used to ask for information about people or things
Which – used to choice something
When – Used to know about time
Where – Used to know about Place
How – used to ask about the condition or quality of something.
These are all ‘wh word’. Now if we add ‘ever’ to them then their meaning is like this.
For example –
Wh + Ever
Who + ever = Whoever it means Anyone
What + ever = whatever it means anything
Which + ever = whichever it means also anything
When + ever = whenever it means anytime
Where + ever = wherever it means Anywhere / Everywhere
How + ever = however it means anyway
Let us now learn these words with some examples so that we have the benefit of learning or understanding. And also we can use them very easily in our daily life.
