find the same thing.

6. No matter where you may go, you will find the same thing.

7. He follow me wherever.

(Is #7 grammatical? #8 is right.)

#7 is incorrect.

#8 is correct.

The sentences 4, 5, and 6 have the same meaning as sentences 1, 2, and 3. The addition of the word "may" in sentences 4, 5, and 6 introduces a sense of possibility or permission, but it does not change the overall meaning.

Here's how you can understand the meaning of these sentences:

1. "Everywhere you go, you will find the same thing." - This sentence means that regardless of where you go, you can expect to find the same thing.

2. "Wherever you go, you will find the same thing." - This sentence means that no matter where you go, you can expect to find the same thing.

3. "No matter where you go, you will find the same thing." - This sentence means that it doesn't matter where you go, you can expect to find the same thing.

Now, let's look at sentences 4, 5, and 6:

4. "Everywhere you may go, you will find the same thing." - This sentence adds a sense of possibility or permission. It means that if you go anywhere, you have the option to find the same thing.

5. "Wherever you may go, you will find the same thing." - Similar to sentence 4, this sentence also includes a sense of possibility or permission. It means that in any place you choose to go, you have the option to find the same thing.

6. "No matter where you may go, you will find the same thing." - This sentence maintains the original meaning from sentence 3, but adds a sense of possibility or permission. It means that regardless of where you may go, there is the possibility to find the same thing.

In terms of popularity, all these sentence variations are used about evenly. The choice of which one to use depends on personal preference and the context in which they are being used.
