用法
When what is the subject of a clause, it may be construed as singular or plural, depending on the sense. It is singular when taken as the equivalent of that which or the thing which, as in I see what seems to be a dead tree; and it is plural when it is taken as the equivalent of those which or the things which, as in He sometimes makes what seem to be gestures of aloofness. ? When a what clause is itself the subject of a sentence, it may be construed as singular or plural, but the conditions governing this choice are somewhat more complicated. In general, a what clause will be taken as a plural when the clause contains an explicit indication of its own plurality. There are two principal cases. First, the clause is plural if what is the subject of the clause and the verb of the clause is itself plural: What seem to be two dead trees are blocking the road. What most surprise me are the inflammatory remarks at the end of his article. If the verb in the what clause does not anticipate the plural sense of the predicate in this way, a singular verb is generally used in the main clause as well, though the plural is sometimes found: What truly commands respect is (sometimes are ) a large navy and a resolute foreign policy. Second, the what clause is treated as plural when its predicate contains a plural noun phrase that unambiguously establishes the plurality of the clause as a whole, as in What traditional grammarians called 「predicates」 are called 「verb phrases」 by modern linguists. What the Romans established as military outposts were later to become important trading centers. In the absence of explicit plural marking of either of these types in a subject what clause, the clause is usually treated as singular for the purposes of agreement, regardless of the sense: What she held in her lap was four kittens. What the apparent diamonds turned out to be was paste. In some cases, however, a clause with what as the subject may be treated as singular or plural, depending on a subtle distinction of sense. In What excite him most are money and power, the implication is that money and power are distinct elements; in What excites him most is money and power, the implication is that money and power are taken as constituting a single entity.See Usage Note at which
當what 作為從句中的主語時， 它既可被當作單數也可以為複數，這取決於詞義。當被看作是that which 或 the thing which 時它就是單數， 如在I see what seems to be a dead tree（我看到個像棵死樹的物體）」 這句話中； 當它被用作those which 或 the things which 的對應詞時它是複數， 如在He sometimes makes what seem to be gestures of aloofness（他有時做一些似乎很超然的手勢） 中。 當what 從句本身是句子的主語時， 它可被當作單數或複數，但決定這種選擇的條件略為複雜些。總體上說，what 從句的含有對其數性明確指示時，它就可以將當作複數。 這有兩種最主要的情況：首先，如果what 是從句的主語而該從句的謂語動詞本身是複數，從句就是複數： What seem to be two dead trees are blocking the road.（像兩棵死樹的物體擋著路）； What mostsurprise me are the inflammatory remarks at the end of his article.（最令我吃驚的是他文章結尾處的煽動性言詞） 。 如果what 從句的謂語動詞並不預示謂語是複數， 主句中通常也用單數動詞，儘管有時也可以發現有複數：What truly commands respect is（有時 are ) a large navy and a resolute foreign policy（真正博得尊敬的是強大的海軍和堅定的外交政策） ； 其次what 從句在其謂語含有複數名詞短語，並且其明顯可建立整個從句的複數性時是被當作複數的， 如在What traditional grammarians called "predicates" are called "verb phrases" by modern linguists.（那些傳統語法家所稱為「謂語」的則被現代語言學家稱作「動詞短語」） What the Romans established as military outpostswere later to become important trading centers.（那些羅馬人設為軍事前哨基地的地方後來成為了重要的貿易中心）。 當what 從句主語缺乏這兩類明確表示複數性的標記時， 從句通常為了一致性而不顧及詞義地被當作單數：What she held in her lap was four kittens.（她抱在膝蓋上的是四隻小貓）。 What the apparent diamonds turned out to bewas paste.（那些看上去象真的鑽石結果卻是人造寶石） 。 然而，在一些情況下，以what 作主語的從句可被當單數或複數，取決於語義上微妙的差異。 在What excite him most are money and power（最讓他興奮的是金錢和權力）， 這句話中暗含著金錢和權力是不同的成分； 在What excites him most is money and power（最讓他興奮的是金錢和權力）， 這句話中暗含著金錢和權力是作為構成一個單一整體的成分參見 which
