What type of pronoun is whoever?

The word 'whoever' is an interrogative pronoun and a relative pronoun that functions as the subject of a sentence or a clause:an interrogative pronoun introduces a question;a relative pronoun introduces a relative clause, a group of words with a subject and a verb that 'relates' information about its antecedent.Examples:Whoever made this beautiful cake? (interrogative pronoun)You may invite whoever you like. (relative pronoun)The corresponding object interrogative/relative pronoun is 'whomever'.Note: It isn't always obvious which is appropriate to use, whoever or whomever. Even I was confused when trying to provide example sentences. When I stared at my example sentence for the relative pronoun, it occurred to me that 'whoever' looks like the direct object of the verb 'invite' (Should it be 'whomever?). However, the direct object is actually the entire relative clause 'whoever you like' and the pronoun 'whoever' is the subject of that clause. As I was researching my dilemma, I came across this suggestion on the Grammar Girl website:"To avoid the "whoever/whomever" problem altogether, you could rephrase it as as "the person who" or "the person whom," or even just "the person.""


What is the noun clause of this sentence Mrs Smith will loan whomever needs it money for lunch?

The direct object of the verb "will loan" is "money" (the complete direct object is the noun phrase "money for lunch").The indirect object is the noun clause "whomever needs it". However, the pronoun "whomever" is incorrect. Although the noun clause is functioning as an indirect object of the verb, the pronoun is the subject of the clause.The noun clause should read, "whoever needs it".
