This grammar point is not about how to use [https://resources.allsetlearning.com/chinese/grammar/Expressing_%22every%22_with_%22mei%22 每 (měi) to mean "every,"] but rather how to combine [https://resources.allsetlearning.com/chinese/grammar/Question_word question words] with [https://resources.allsetlearning.com/chinese/grammar/%E9%83%BD 都] (dōu) to make words and phrases like "everywhere" or "everyone." You may have learned this same pattern for [https://resources.allsetlearning.com/chinese/grammar/Expressing_%22everything%22_with_%22shenme_dou%22 expressing "everything,"] but now it's time to extend it.

== "Everyone" with 谁 都 == 谁 都 (shéi dōu) is a pattern used to express "everyone" (or possibly "anyone") in Chinese.

== "Whenever" with 什么时候 都 == 什么时候 (shénme shíhou) combines with 都 (dōu) to mean "whenever" or "anytime." === Structure ===
什么时候 (+ Verb) + 都 + Predicate
=== Examples ===
* ''什么 时候'' '''都''' 可以 。''Shénme shíhou'' '''dōu''' kěyǐ.Anytime is fine. * 你''什么 时候'' 来 '''都''' 欢迎 。Nǐ ''shénme shíhou'' lái '''dōu''' huānyíng.You're welcome to come anytime. * ''什么 时候'' 开始 '''都''' 不 晚 。''Shénme shíhou'' kāishǐ '''dōu''' bù wǎn.It's never too late to start.
