Exercise 3

Complete the sentences with whatever, whenever, wherever, whoever, however or whichever.

It doesn't matter what, when, where, etc.

When we add-ever after what, which, when, where, who or how, we are referring to one element and to every element described by the question word at the same time, it doesn't matter which. For example, if we say, 'You can sit wherever you want', we mean that you can sit in some place and that this place can be any of all the available places, it doesn't matter which.

In the grammar chart below you can see the meanings of these words and example sentences.

whatever

It means 'anything' or 'everything', 'it doesn't matter what'. For example, if we say, 'Do whatever you like', we mean that you can do any thing from all the possible things, it doesn't matter which.

whichever

Whichever is similar to whatever, but we use it when we have a limited number of options. It means 'any one (of a number of options)', 'it doesn't matter which'.

whenever

It means 'at any time' or 'at every time', 'it doesn't matter when'. If we say, 'You can come whenever you want', we mean that you can come at any time you want from all the possible times; it doesn't matter when.

wherever

It means 'at any place' or 'at every place', 'it doesn't matter where'.

whoever

It means 'any person who', 'it doesn't matter who'. If we say, ' Whoever finishes first is going to win a prize', we mean that from all the people, any person who finishes first, it doesn't matter who, is going to win a prize.

however

It means 'in any way', 'it doesn't matter how'. It can be used in some different contexts, in which we could also find the word how without ever.
