Whatever and Whoever Exercises
B2 Level
English Exercises is teacher-led by Charlie. About the teacher · How content is made
These words often mean anything that, anyone who, or no matter what/who. They can begin a sentence, follow a verb, or sit after a preposition. Pay attention to the noun idea in the sentence: food, tools, prices, and actions take whatever; callers, winners, visitors, and applicants take whoever. In negative instructions, the open meaning still applies: "Whatever you do, do not press that button" warns against one action while allowing every other possible action. This exercise builds quick recognition of person versus thing contexts in sentences. It also prepares you for mixed wh-ever choices later.
Quick Rule
whatever + subject + verb (things/actions) | whoever + verb (people)
- 1.Whatever you bring for lunch will be fine.
- 2.Whoever arrives first should open the classroom window.
- 3.My sister can borrow whatever she needs for the trip.
- 4.The receptionist will help whoever comes to the desk.
- 5.Whatever you decide, do not ignore the safety notice.
