I know that they have same meaning, but when can i use whatever, instead of anything For example in this phrase I'll write about whatever, whatever is right I'm a bit confused with two similar expressions in the title For whatever reason= meaning some kind of reason, whatever is used as an adjective modifying the noun reason whatever the reason= meaning whatever the reason is/no matter what the reason is, is being. Good morning or good afternoon, whatever the time you hear this
However, the suggestion in #7 sounds the most natural to me I realize that it may be hard to understand why we use a dummy it in whatever time it is, but that is the normal way to express such ideas Whatever year it is whatever day it is etc. Whatever the answer says the actor will goes for whichever of the two tricks ( that he has planned), so it should be whichever I don't think i agree I think the speaker intends to mean
The american heritage dictionary seems to allow both Both whatever and what ever may be used in sentences such as whatever (or what ever) made her say that The same is true of the forms whoever, whenever, wherever, and however. I'd certainly understand whatever that is easier for you, but like aidanriley and soccergal i wouldn't use it in my own writing I might, however, use it in speech. I would like to know your opinion about the difference,in meaning and usage (if there is any of it), between whatsoever and whatever
If i wanted to complete these sentences, would these alternatives be correct Whatever you prefer is fine with me Whatever you'd prefer would be fine with me I always hear people say 'whatever comes in the future.' i want to know whether the followings are correct as well Whatever will come in the future Whatever may come in the future
So what's the difference between whatever and what in that question?
