The style of "no matter XX"
Hi guys
As said in the topic, I wish to know how to use "no matter style" correctly,
My questions
what can be added after the no matter, (what, how, when, who, where) These are the things I am confident that can follow the " no matter"
But what about ( that, which, whether) and the word "if" I do not think I can use it after "no matter"
Another question is "no matter XX" is equal to " XXever" style such as whatever has the similiar meaning to "no matter what" then what is the difference between them?
Much appreciate if you could clarify this.
And again, as a native spreaker is that common way to use "no matter" or "XXever" in the sentence
to state sth?

They are all broadly used except "that." You cannot combine "whether" with "ever." The others do combine with "ever." Other than that, they are all in common use.

'Which' is fine to use with "no matter", e.g. "no matter which way you turn, it's a dead end". I suspect 'whether', 'that' and 'if' are also grammatically ok, however as a native speaker I doubt I have ever heard of their usage with "no matter" - far better to use an alternative word or sentence structure.
"no matter XX" and "XXever" are similar, but they also differ. "No matter XX" can
