任…也…: No Matter What in Chinese
任……也……
任…也… grants unrestricted choice or variation in the first clause while asserting an unchanged result in the second. 任 introduces the person, circumstance, or question expression allowed to vary; 也 precedes the invariant result. The markers cannot be stacked, reversed, or left without complete variable and result predicates.

任…也… grants unrestricted choice or variation in the first clause while asserting an unchanged result in the second. 任 introduces the person, circumstance, or question expression allowed to vary; 也 precedes the invariant result. The markers cannot be stacked, reversed, or left without complete variable and result predicates. Keep the model 任 + Person / Question expression + Predicate，也 + Unchanged result visible while you compare each sentence.
任他们怎么解释，我也不接受。
No matter how they explain, I will not accept it.
Choose the right context
Allow any person or circumstance without changing the outcome. Use 任 + question expression for unrestricted variation. Emphasize that attempts cannot alter the result.
任谁来劝，他也不改变决定。
No matter who advises him, he will not change his decision.
Respect the boundary
Do not put 也 beside 任 in the first clause. Do not omit the invariant result. Do not use it for one specific known condition.
任也他们怎么解释，我不接受。
(No matter also how they explain, I do not accept.)
Repair the pattern
也 is stacked in the variable clause: 任 introduces the varying condition; 也 belongs before the invariant result. The result after 也 is missing: 也 must introduce a complete result that remains unchanged.
任他们怎么解释，我也不接受。
Use the repaired structure without changing the intended meaning.

05 / REPAIR
Compare Right and Wrong
Compare the smallest meaningful change. Each explanation identifies a placement, scope, form, or clause relationship instead of treating the whole sentence as one undifferentiated mistake.

06 / PRACTICE
Practice the Grammar Point
Complete three short tasks in order: judge the pattern, repair a common error, and build the sentence. Feedback is fixed and reviewed, so these activities do not use a checker allowance.
1. Judge the sentence
2. Choose the correction
3. Build the sentence
Build a complete sentence with 任……也…….
07 / APPLY
Apply It in Your Sentence
Write one original sentence with 任……也……. Your draft moves to the checker through this browser session, selects this grammar point as the first review focus, and waits for you to submit.
08 / QUESTIONS
任…也…: No Matter What Questions
How is 任…也… different from 无论…都…?
Both express unrestricted conditions. 任…也… is more concise and formal or forceful.
What can follow 任?
A person, circumstance, or question expression such as 谁, 怎么, or 多大 can follow it.
