the people were provided whatever they need这句话对不对provide后面能不能直接跟sth

问题描述:

the people were provided whatever they need这句话对不对provide后面能不能直接跟sth

错了.
provide的用法应该是.
provide sb.with sth.
或者provide sth.to sb.
所以应该说.(前面不用the)people were provided with whatever they need可是我们有一道提答案就是直接跟whatever,我还以为我记错了呢,看来是答案错了,谢谢
