  <p>The uses of question words with 都 dou and 也 ye</p>
  <p>These constructions are used for general categorisation. They
  can describe how a particular</p>
  <p>action applies to a general object, as in 我什么东西都吃 wŏ shénme
  dōngxi dōu chī I eat</p>
  <p>anything; 我哪儿都去 wŏ năr dōu qù I go anywhere. They can also
  describe people in</p>
  <p>general doing a particular type of thing, as in 谁都喜欢吃中国菜 shuí
  dōu xĭhuān chī</p>
  <p>Zhōngguó cài everyone likes eating Chinese food.</p>
  <p>The question word 什么 shénme what is placed before a noun to
  imply any or every, and</p>
  <p>can refer to the subject or object of a sentence. If 什么 shénme
  any or every is used as the</p>
  <p>object, it should be placed before the adverb 都 dōu both, all,
  and can be placed before or</p>
  <p>102Elementary Chinese Grammar 基础汉语语法</p>
  <p>2011</p>
  <p>after the subject of a sentence. The adverb 都 dōu is placed
  before the verb, as illustrated</p>
  <p>below.</p>
