Word: Whatever

Part of Speech: Pronoun

Meaning: Whatever means anything at all. It can also mean that it makes no difference which thing it is.

Synonyms: anything

How do you spell whatever?

Tricky part: It starts with wh, and for most speakers the h makes no sound, so it is easy to leave out.

Memory tip: Whisper the wh as you start, and let the little puff of air remind you of the h.
