二、用法说明

(1) 这样用的what相当于“先行词+关系代词”,所以其前不能有先行词:

你喜欢什么就拿什么吧。

正:You can have what you like./ You can have everything (that) you like.

误:You can have everything what you like.

(2) 有时what 可用作限定词,其后修饰一个名词:

I gave him what books I had.我把我所有的书都给他了。

He gave me what money he had about him.他把身边带有的钱全给了我。

(3) What 后的名词可以是复数名词或不可数名词,但通常不能是单数可数名词:

误:I gave him what book I had.

(4) What后接不可数名词时,有时可有little修饰。注意区别:what+不可数名词=所有的都,what little+不可数名词=虽少但全部。如:

I spent what time I had with her.我所有的时间都是与她一起度过的。

I spent what little time I had with her.我仅有的一点时间都是与她一起度过的。
