2、直接与or not连用时,用whether,不用if.例如:Eg: Can you tell me whether or not the train has left? 5引导主语从句时,从句位于句首用whether,不用if。Eg: Whether she likes the present is not clear to me。 她是否喜欢那件礼物我不清楚.6引导表语从句时,用whether, 不用if。例如:His first question was whether Holmes had arrived yet. 它的第一个问题是福尔摩斯是否已经到了。7引导让步状语从句,作“不管”解时
3、,用whether,不用if。eg:Whether you like it or not, youll have to do it。 不管你愿不愿意,你都得做这件事。8如果句中已有if引导的状语从句,最好用whether,以避免重复if.或在容易造成歧义的情况下,如表达“是否”的意思时,最好用whether。例如:He asked me whether, if I had time, Id go with him。 他问我,如果我有时间的话,是否和他一起去。9在discuss后面只能跟whether引导的宾语从句.Eg: We discussed whether we should close
4、 the shop.二。慎用whether:1.宾语从句如果是否定句,一般用if,因为whether引导的宾语从句通常是肯定的.例如:I dont care if she doesnt come.We discussed whether we should close the shop.2。 注:doubt用于肯定句时,可用whether 或if 引导的宾语从句,在否定句或疑问句中则跟 that 引导的宾语从句.例如:I doubt whether/if he will come.I dont doubt that you are honest.Can you doubt that he will come?
