what or that

Post by dawidSmith »

Hello.
I want to ask about something - from view of natvie speakers. I want to know can I use this sentence and is it grammatically appropriate.

This sentence is: "Everything what he said was true"
And what is the diffenece between the first and this one: "Everything that he said was true".

This is the link to the task in Polish where it all sarted... https://forum.duolingo.com/comment/2312866

I hope, I don't do many mistakes. :oops:

Hi, Fellow David...

✅ "Everything that he said was true" is perfectly correct.

✅ "Everything he said was true". also sounds fine.

✅ "What he said was true" also sounds fine.

❌ "Everything what he said was true" is incorrect grammar. Everybody would understand the meaning, but it would at best sound very regional and colloquial coming from an English speaker. :)
