注意事項
- however 後面接形容詞或副詞:However hard it is, don't give up.however takes an adjective or adverb: However hard it is, don't give up.
常見錯誤
- ✗ You can invite whomever wants to come.
✓ You can invite whoever wants to come.
子句裡當主詞(wants 的主詞)用 whoever。It's the subject of wants: whoever. - ✗ No matter how it is hard, keep going.
✓ No matter how hard it is, keep going.
how 後面緊接形容詞。how is followed directly by the adjective.
例句

Call me whenever you need help.
