Hello Teachers,
1. I will give the pen back to Renu or Reshama; ------------- it beloNgs to.(whomever/whoever)
'whoever' would be the more natural choice for speaking. "{whom} now sounds pretentious in most spoken contexts." [S Pinker: The Language Instinct]
I will give the pen back to whoever it belongs to, [either] Renu or Reshama.
2. Learn ---------- poem you find more interesting.(whichever). DYNAMITE
3. I will come -------------I can and I will bring ----------- you like with me. DEAD ON(whenever,whatever)
4. -------- hard I worked, she was not satisfied.(however). SPOT ON [a wee bit of BrE]
5. We [are] were warmly welcomed -------- we went.(whenever). BULLSEYE [on the ---ever part]
6. Take this bag, basket or ----------- it is and hang it up ------------ you find room for it.
(whatever, whenEver). For the 2nd part, probably 'wherever' would be better, Hanuman.
My choices are in the bracket.
Are they correct?
So far I feel some sentences are awkward [so far I feel].
Could you please correct [it] whatever you feel is so?
