Question

Whatever he did was right 为何用Was?

RT,和What he did is right有什么区别？

Answer 1

Whatever he did was right.

有两种解释：

1. 如果这是一句来自某一描述中的一句，用 was 是为了时态表述的统一

2. 如果是正在谈话的一句，用 was 就是说讲话人不认为 what he did 是正确的了。

 

What he did is right.

也有两种解释：

1. 正在讲话人对 what he did 作出的判断

2. 讲话人仍然认为 what he did 是正确的。

Answer 2

Whatever he did was right.
It means what he did was corect in the time he did it.

What he did is right.
It means what he did is still corect in the time they talk about it.
