You may do whatever you like.你可以做你喜欢的任何事。(宾语从句)
What he wants to get is whatever you have.他想得到的是你拥有的一切。(表语从句)

13．So I am，but I can't miss two weeks of school.我也是(很遗憾)，但是我不能两周不上课。

My brother can speak Japanese，so can I．我哥哥会讲日语，我也会。
He was a little unhappy，so was I．他有点儿不开心，我也是。
They have been learning English for years.So have we.他们学英语好多年了。我们也是。
【拓展】
(1)“so＋主语＋be/助动词/情态动词”表示赞同前者的观点，意为“……的确如此”，前后两部分的主语是同一人或物。如：
—The woolen coat is a little expensive.这件羊毛的大衣有点儿贵。
—So it is.的确如此。
(2)当前面是否定句时，我们用neither或nor来代替so，构成“neither/nor＋be/助动词/情态动词”的结构，表示后者与前者的情况相同或同意前者的说法，意为“……也不”。如：
I don't have a computer.Neither does my twin sister.我没有一台电脑。我的双胞胎妹妹也没有。
【即时训练】
单项选择。
(　　)—I hear Li Ping made an English speech at the graduation ceremony yesterday.
—____________ and____________．
A．So she did；so did I 　　　B．So did she；so I did
C．So she was；so I was D．So was she；so I was
【答案】A 句意：我听说李萍在毕业典礼上做了英语演讲。---她确实是，我也是
14．Your train is about to leave.您的火车要开了。
【辨析】be about to do sth.与be going to do sth.
