W5 Questions in English: Wherever Whenever Whatever Whoever Whyever

The W5 are words in English that ask the questions where, when, what, who, and why. But when we add “ever” to the W5 word, it changes the meaning of the question. In this lesson, I will teach you the meaning of these questions. I will show you how adding “ever” at the end of the word expands its possibilities. For example, when we say, “Whoever did this is a genius”, we mean that we don’t know who it is, but it doesn’t matter because no matter who it is, that person is a genius. It is a broader statement than just answering the question “Who did this?” We can also use the W5 words as exclamations. “Whatever!” is a good example of an exclamation that expresses indifference or dismissal. Use these words in your everyday conversations, and you will be well on your way to sounding like a native English speaker! Whatever you do, don’t forget to do the quiz after watching to test your knowledge!
