一、whoever的意思“任何…的人”,在意義上大致相當于 anybody who。Whoever可引導(dǎo)名詞性從句,在從句中可用作主語或賓語,例如:
1. I’ll take whoever wants to go.
誰想去我就帶誰去。
2. She can marry whoever she chooses.
她愿意嫁誰就嫁誰。
3. Whoever wants the book may have it.
任何人要這書都可拿去。
4. Whoever comes will be welcome.
誰來都歡迎。
5. Whoever you invite will be welcome.
任何你邀請的人都歡迎。
6. Whoever breaks this law deserves a fine.
違反本法者應(yīng)予以罰款。
7. I’ll give the ticket to whoever wants it.
請想要這票,我就把它給誰。
8. The police, or whoever, would not think of looking for him here.
無論是警方還是其他什么人都不會想到來這里找他。
9. You can have whoever you like to visit you.
你想要誰來拜訪你都可以。
10. Whoever was waiting for them there had command of the situation.
在那邊等候他們的人控制了局勢。

二、whoever 和no matter who 的意思都是無論誰,不管誰的意思.
但whoever可以作為引導(dǎo)讓步狀語從句的連接代詞,而no matter who 不能.
whoever和no matter who 是疑問詞 + ever和no matter + 疑問詞中的一個特例,這類詞的主要區(qū)別是:
1. 疑問詞 + ever可引導(dǎo)名詞性從句,在主從句中要充當一定的部分.如:
Whoever breaks the rule must be punished.
無論誰不遵守規(guī)則都必須被處罰。
2.疑問詞 + ever還可引導(dǎo)讓步狀語從句.如:
Whoever breaks the rule,he must be punished.
無論誰不遵守規(guī)則,他必須被處罰。
matter + 疑問詞只能引導(dǎo)讓步狀語從句.如:
No matter who breaks the rule,he must be punished.
無論誰不遵守規(guī)則,他必須被處罰。
