Nov 20, 2013 · Nov 20, 2013. #3. Anything is a noun phrase on its own, or with adjectives, but whatever normally begins a relative clause: I'll write about anything. I'll write about anything interesting. I'll write about whatever I like. I'll write about whatever you want me to write about. However, anything can also have such clauses attached, and then it ...
May 22, 2020 · 1."Killing whatever you don't like and fearing whatever is better than yours". Rather than: 2. "To Kill whatever you don't like and to fear whatever is better than yours " (this one might be wrong.

Sep 5, 2006 · 'Whatever", unfortunately, has become popular as an answer when the person is less than enthusiastic about doing something. For example: [to a child], "You need to clean your room."

Apr 9, 2021 · 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 omitted.
