Dear teachers,

Please read:

a. No matter who you are, I still love you.
b. Whoever you are, I still love you.
c.No matter what friend you make, I still love you.
d.No matter what friends you make, I still love you.

1. I think (a) and (b) are correct and have the same meaning. Is it right?

2. What is the difference in meaning btw (c) and (d)?

Hi, Quoc! How do you feel?

As far I am concerned, a) and b) are the same.

As for c), I think it?s not correct, cause
you can say "to make friends" but not
"make friend". I have never heard of that.
You could say: "To make a friend"
, but in that particular sentence I am afraid
it wouldn?t work.

And about d) I think it?s perfectly right.

Let?s wait for the replies of the teachers
?cause I could be wrong. I just tried it! :lol:
