Answer 1

Once they had fame, fortune, secure futures; now (all that is left) is utter poverty. 请问括号里的all that is left为什么不是all what is left?语法上怎么讲？谢谢。
答：句意：他们曾经有名望、有财富，有无虑的未来，而现在剩下的只是彻贫。
all是个代词，后跟定语从句，用that引导。what不是关系代词，不能引导定语从句。
比较：
The doctor did what he could (do) to save the girl's life.
那医生做了他所能做的（事情）来救那女孩的生命。
what:连接代词，引导名词性从句（宾语从句），相当于：the things that-定语从句。
The doctor did all (that) he could (do) to save the girl's life.
那医生做了他所能做的一切来救那女孩的生命。
all是“一切”，作did的宾语，that引导一个定语从句，在从句中作省掉的那个do的宾语，所以可以省略。
all that is left 就是：所剩相的一切， that是关系代词，引导限制性定语从句，在从句中作主语，不能省略。
不过，all .... is ..., 译作：只是。。。
如：All we could see from the plane is the white clouds gathered beside us which stretches away as far as the eye could see

Answer 2

all 是先行词 that is left 是定语从句 all that =what 所以这句话有两种说法 all that is left /what is left

Answer 3

这个是定语从句，定语从句的引导词没有WHAT的，WHAT只能引导名词性从句。无法做定语从句的先行词。
祝你学习进步。

Answer 4

aii taht =what 所以 是 all that 这里是 all that 引导主语从句
