what有時(shí)候可解釋為whatever,表示“不管怎么樣”。 I gave him what help I could. 我給他任何我能給的幫助。
what所引導(dǎo)的句子中,判斷從句謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞用單數(shù)還是復(fù)數(shù),看what后跟的詞是單數(shù)還是復(fù)數(shù)。 What is required is some good books. What are required are some good books.第一句中what后跟is,固required后的謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞用單數(shù)is。第二句中what后跟are,固required后的謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞用復(fù)數(shù)are。

What有時(shí)候可等同于that,those或 which。 What I am interested in you may not be interested in.我感興趣的,你可能不感興趣。
What既可作疑問(wèn)代詞,也可作關(guān)系代詞。 He asked me what I wanted. (疑問(wèn)代詞)He gave me what I wanted.(關(guān)系代詞)
What在作關(guān)系代詞時(shí),可表示“下文所講的話”。 He went, and, what is more surprising, actually won the prize. 他去了,而且更令人驚訝的是,他還獲獎(jiǎng)了。
and what not表示“以及其他”,使用時(shí)在其前面一般至少有兩個(gè)或兩個(gè)以上的名詞,偶爾可以是形容詞。 He sent me books, magazines, newspapers, pictures, and what not. They were then generally dirty, ignorant, superstitious, and what not.
句式What is he?中,所提問(wèn)的是他的職業(yè)或者身份,回答不可以是人名。 He is a professor of physics.He is the governor.He is George.
pron.(代詞)what用作疑問(wèn)代詞時(shí),其基本意思是“什么,什么東西,什么事情”,用作疑問(wèn)句,為特殊疑問(wèn)句的一個(gè)標(biāo)志。
what作關(guān)系代詞時(shí),其含意是“所…的事(物)”??捎脕?lái)引導(dǎo)主語(yǔ)從句,表語(yǔ)從句,賓語(yǔ)從句或同位語(yǔ)從句。當(dāng)引導(dǎo)主語(yǔ)從句,其所指的名詞必定是單數(shù)。主語(yǔ)是單數(shù)時(shí),謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞一般是單數(shù),但有時(shí)因謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞之后有復(fù)數(shù)名詞,謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞也可用復(fù)數(shù); what引導(dǎo)賓語(yǔ)從句時(shí),常置于謂語(yǔ)之后,用作表語(yǔ)時(shí),放在系動(dòng)詞之后。what還可引導(dǎo)讓步狀語(yǔ)從句,意思是“不管…”。還可接動(dòng)詞不定式短語(yǔ)。
what用作疑問(wèn)限定詞或關(guān)系限定詞時(shí),含意是“什么”,只用作定語(yǔ),引出疑問(wèn)句或從句。例如:What color is it?它是什么顏色的?We don't know what plan they are going to try.我們不曉得他們要試什么計(jì)劃。
what還可用于感嘆句,表示“多么…”,在句中作限定詞。在單數(shù)可數(shù)名詞前用what a,在復(fù)數(shù)名詞和不可數(shù)名詞前用what。例如:What a tall tree it is!多高的樹(shù)啊!What genius he has! 他真有才華!What happy children they are!他們是些多么幸福的孩子呀!
what用作副詞時(shí),表示“多少,到什么程度”。例如:What does the new measure benefit the teachers?這個(gè)新措施使教師們得益多大?
