※ 引述《kid74414 (just kidding)》之銘言：
: 請教一下
: It was pretty obvious that whoever these guys were,they were here to help.
: 翻譯:很明顯地不論這些人是誰,他們是來幫忙的
: 問何此句中的whoever可以用在此處?它在此句中所用的文法是?
: 是關代嗎?看起來不是，因前面已有關係代名詞that
: 或是等於no matter who?但後面接these guys(主詞)好像也說不通
: 可以請大家指點我一下嗎?謝謝
It was pretty obvious (that whoever these guys were, they were to help.)
=> that子句當整句話的主詞，it為虛主詞
(whoever these guys are), they were to help
=> whoever 等於 no matter who，為複合關係代名詞，做these guys的受詞
whoever these guys are 為表讓步的副詞子句
