習題解析whoever及no matter who的區(qū)別丨

　　有這樣一道題：

　　I will give the ticket to __________ wants it.

　　A. whoever B. no matter who C. whatever D. no matter what

　　此題應(yīng)選 A。容易誤選B。選項C，D都是錯的，因為從句意上看，“想要票的”應(yīng)該是“人”(whoever)而不能是“東西”(whatever)。至于為什么選 whoever 而不選no matter who，這要從它們在句中引導的成分說起：

    no matter who通常只能引導狀語從句，而不能引導名詞性從句。而 whoever 既可引導名詞性從句(= anyone that)也可引導狀語從句(=no matter who)：

    1. 引導名詞性從句(只用whoever)：

    誰想去我就帶誰去。

    正：I’ll take whoever wants to go.

    誤：I’ll take no matter who wants to go.

    誰贏了都可以獲獎。

    正：Whoever wins gets a prize.

    誤：No matter who wins gets a prize.

    不管這話是誰對你說的，他都是在撒謊。

    正：Whoever told you that was lying.

    誤：No matter who told you that was lying.

    2. 引導狀語從句(兩者可換用)：

    不管是誰打電話來，都說我出去了。

    正：Whoever phones，tell them I’m out.

    正：No matter who phones，tell them I’m out.

    不管是誰這樣說，那都是錯的。

    正：Whoever says so，it is wrong.

    正：No matter who says so，it is wrong.
