文字稿
Hi, everyone. I’m Saskia and in this episode, we’re going to look at what it means when we add the word ‘ever’ to the end of a question word.
The most important thing to know is that when we add ‘ever’ to a question word, it is not talking about anything specific. It often means we don’t know the ‘who’ or the ‘where’, or they are not important.
Let’s look at some examples:
“Whoever ate my cake is in big trouble!” This example means that I do not know who ate my cake.
“Whenever I go to the café, there are never any sandwiches left!” This means the time when I go to the café is not important.
“I never put on weight, so I can eat whatever I like.” This means what I eat isn’t important.
“The puppy followed the girl wherever she went.” By adding ‘ever’ to ‘where’, it means the place is not important.
So, if you want to say that the time, place, person or thing you’re talking about is not important or unknown, just add ‘ever’ to the correct question word.
用法總結
1. “Whoever” 指 “…那個人，無論什麼人”。
- Whoever ate my cake is in big trouble!
吃瞭我蛋糕的那個人有大麻煩瞭！
2. “Whenever” 指 “每當，無論何時”。
- Whenever I go to the café, there are never any sandwiches left!
無論我什麼時候去咖啡館，三明治總是都賣光瞭！
3. “Whatever” 指 “無論什麼，不管怎樣”。
- I never put on weight, so I can eat whatever I like.
我從來都長不胖，所以我可以想吃什麼就吃什麼。
4. “Wherever” 指 “無論在哪裡，無論什麼地方”。
- The puppy followed the girl wherever she went.
無論女孩走到哪裡，小狗都跟著她。
