whether和if都可以引导宾语从句,表示“是否”,在口语或间接引语中两者可以互换使用;如:
I wonder if / whether I can get some advice from you.
Ask him whether / if he can come.
但在有些情况下,whether和if的用法有一定区别;
1. whether引导的从句常可以与连词or或or not直接连用,而if一般不能;如:
正:Let me know whether you can come or not.
误:Let me know if you can come or not.
2. 当宾语从句提到句首时,只能用whether引导,而不能用if;如:
正:Whether it is true or not, I can’t tell.
误:If it is true or not, I can’t tell.
3. whether可以引导带to的不定式,if则不能;如:
正:I don’t know whether to accept or refuse.
误:I don’t know if to accept or refuse.
4. whether及其引导的成分可放于介词之后,作介词的宾语,但if不能;如:
正:I worry about whether I hurt her feelings.
误:I worry about if I hurt her feelings.
5. whether可以引导从句,作主语、表语或同位语,而if不能;如:
正:It was uncertain whether he would come.
误:It was uncertain if he would come.
正:His first question was whether Tom had arrived yet.
误:His first question was if Tom had arrived yet.
正:We must consider the question whether we will take these measures. 误:We must consider the question if we will take these measures.
whether 和if 可以互换吗
在哪些情况下可以呢
下面的几个情况可不可以
"Have you seen the film" He asked me.
→he asked me whether I had seen the film.
"You've already got well, Haven't you"
she asked.
→she asked whether I had a already got well.
He asked, "Are you a Party member or a League member"
→He asked me If I was a Party member or a League member,
这三个都做“是否”讲是可以互换的
下面的情况不能互换:
1.Whether可以与or not 连用构成whether…or not或者whether or not,但if一般没有这种用法;
2.如果宾语从句是否定结构,则用if,而不用whether;
3.介词的宾语从句只能用Whether引导;
4、引导主语从句、表语从句、同位语从句时都用whether;
5.Discuss 或decide 等动词后,通常只跟whether引导的宾语从句,而不跟if引导的宾语从句;
6.Whether后面可以接不定式短语,而if不能;
7.在主从复合句中,为避免产生歧义,不用if而用whether,而使意义更加明确;。
