if和weather引导宾语从句的区别:
引导动词后面的宾语从句时,一般情况下二者可以通用;引导形容词后面的宾语从句时, 二者可以通用(如:He is not sure whether/if it is right or wrong.)。但是以下 几种情况只能使用whether而不能使用if:
A)引导主语从句时:Whether we shall attend the meeting hasn’t been decided yet. 注意:如果使用it作形式主语,则whether和if都能引导主语从句。如: It hasn’t been decided whether/if we shall attend the meeting.
B) 引导表语从句时:The question is whether the film is worth seeing.
C) 引导同位语从句时:Please answer my question whether you are coming.
D)引导动词后面的宾语从句置于句首时:Whether she is married I don’t know. E) 引导动词后面的宾语从句表示选择概念时:
1) He wondered whether he should wait for them or go on. 2) He wondered whether he should go there by air or by sea.
F)引导动词后的宾语从句,后面紧接or not时:He asked me whether or not I would come. 注意:当or not置于句末时,也可使用if。如:He asked me whether/if I would come or not.
当宾语从句是否定句时,要用if,而不能使用whether。如:He asked me if I wouldn’t come. G) 引导discuss后面的宾语从句时:They discussed whether John could attend the meeting. H) 引导介词后面的宾语从句时:It all depends on whether they will support us. I) 后接动词不定式作宾语时:He doesn’t know whether to stay (or not). J) 为了避免与表示条件的if重复或为了避免产生歧义时,常使用whether: 1) He asked whether, if I got the job, I’d move to Beijing.
2) Please let me know if you like it. 该句可译为“请告诉我你是否喜欢。”或“如果你喜欢,请告诉我。” 如果使用whether就可以避免产生歧义。
注意:whether可以引导让步状语从句,意为“不论是否…,不管是…还是…”。例如: Whether I am busy or not, I shall spare no effort to learn English well.
