回答1:

一、引导宾语从句\x0d\x0a这时两者的含义区别很小,一般可通用.\x0d\x0aI don't know whether/if they will come to help us.\x0d\x0a但是,当whether与or not连成一个词组时,whether不可换用if.\x0d\x0aI don't know whether or not they will come for our help.\x0d\x0a若whether和or not不连在一起,在口语中可以用if取代whether,当然也可以用whether.\x0d\x0aI don't care if/whether your car breaks down or not.我不在乎您的车是否是会出故障.\x0d\x0a此外,还有三种情况值得注意:\x0d\x0a(1)在介词后面只能用whether,不能用if.\x0d\x0aI am not interested in whether you'll come or not.\x0d\x0a(2)在动词不定式之前,只能用whether,不能用if.\x0d\x0aHe doesn't know whether to stay or not.\x0d\x0a(3)在及物运动discuss后的宾语从句中,只能用whether,不能用if.\x0d\x0aWe discussed whether we should make a change in our plan.\x0d\x0a二、引导主语从句\x0d\x0a只能用whether,不能用if.\x0d\x0aIt is unknown whether he will come.\x0d\x0aWhether the news is true remains a question.\x0d\x0a三、引导表语从句\x0d\x0a只能用whether,不能用if\x0d\x0aThe question is whether they can take our advice.\x0d\x0a四、引导同位语从句\x0d\x0a常用whether\x0d\x0aThe question whether he'll come is unknown.\x0d\x0a五、可以用来引导一个否定的宾语从句,whether则不能用来引导否定的宾语从句,因为它表示正反两方面的选择意义比较强.\x0d\x0aTell me if it is not going to rain,please.\x0d\x0a六、if除引导宾语从句外,还可以引导条件状语从句,作“是否”解.在容易引起混淆产生歧义的情况下,就不可用if,而须用whether.\x0d\x0aPlease let me know if you intend to come.这个句子有两种解释:A:“请让我们知道你是否想来.” B:“如果你打算来,请让我们知道.”在书面语中,如果我们想表达的第一种含义,就得用whether来改写第一句.\x0d\x0aPlease let me know whether you intend to come.\x0d\x0a通俗来讲,whether在大多数情况下都可以用,而if则不然,有wether和if时一般选wether不会有错,但是如果所需的意思是"如果",自然只能选if了

if和whether都可译为\"是否\",二者引导宾语从句时通常可以互相替换,口语中多用if代替whether。例如:Ask
if/whether
he
plans
to
come
to
the
meeting.
而以下几种情况中,
只能用whether:
1.
强调两方面的选择,特别是句中有or
not时。如:
Let
me
know
whether
you
can
come
or
not.
2.
宾语从句前置时。如:
Whether
this
is
true,
I
can\'t
say.
3.
引导主语、表语、同位语从句时。如:
Whether
the
football
game
will
be
played
depends
on
the
weather.
(主语从句)
The
question
is
whether
he
can
do
it.
(表语从句)
The
question
whether
we
should
go
with
them
must
be
decided
at
once.
(同位语从句)
4.
在介词之后作介词的宾语时。如:
I
haven\'t
settled
the
question
of
whether
I\'ll
go
back
home.
5.
在不定式前与不定式一起组成词组时。如:
Whether
to
go
or
stay
is
still
a
question.
6.
在discuss,
decide
等动词后作宾语时。如:
We
discussed
whether
we
should
go
there
by
plane.
值得注意的是:
if还可以引导条件状语从句,是\"假如;如果\"之意,而whether可以引导让步状语从句,是\"不管;无论\"
之意。如:
If
you
ask
him,
he
will
help
you.
I
shall
go,
whether
you
come
with
me
or
stay
at
home.
一、if或whether引导宾语从句时,作“是否”讲,常放在动词ask
、see
、say
、know和find
out等后面。一般情况下,两者常可换用,在口语中多用if。如:
例1
Nobody
knows
whether
(if)
it
will
rain
tomorrow.
没有人知道明天是否下雨。
例2
Lucy
asked
whether
(if)
they
had
a
cotton
sweater
.露西问他们是否有棉制的羊毛衣。
二、if或whether引导宾语从句时,要注意三个方面,即连词、语序和时态。
1
if或whether不能和that
或其它连词(副词)同时使用,也不能省去。如:
例3
我不知道他今天是否会来。
[误]
I
don’t
know
that
if(whether)
he
will
come
here
today
.
[正]
I
don’t
know
if(whether)
he
will
come
here
today
.
例4他走过来看看猫是否出了毛病。
误]
He
came
to
see
what
if
(whether)
there
was
wrong
with
his
cat
.
[正]
He
came
to
see
if
(whether)
there
was
wrong
with
his
cat
.
2
if或whether引导的宾语从句时,虽具有疑问意义,但从句语序应用陈述句语序。如:
例5
Did
you
know
the
way
to
the
hospital
?
The
old
woman
asked
me
.
The
old
woman
asked
me
.if
(whether)
I
knew
the
way
to
the
hospital
.老妇人问我是否知道去医院的路。
3
if或whether引导的宾语从句应和主句的时态保持一致。即主句为一般现在时,从句用任一种时态;主句为一般过去时,从句则用过去时中的任一种时态。如:
例6
I
don’t
know
if
(whether)
he
has
come
here
.
我不知道他是否来过这儿。
例7
Tom
asked
if
(whether)
I
had
read
the
book
.
汤姆问我是否看过这本书

三、if和whether的区别:
1
在动词不定式之前只能用whether
。如:
例8
I
can’t
decide
whether
to
stay.
我不能决定是否留下。
2
在whether
……
or
not
的固定搭配中。如:
例9
I
want
to
know
whether
it’s
good
news
or
not
.
我想知道是否是好消息。
3
在介词后,只能用whether。如:
例10
His
father
is
worried
about
whether
he
lose
his
work
.
他的父亲担心是否会失去工作。
4宾语从句放在句首表示强调时,只能用whether
。如:
例11
Whether
they
can
finish
the
work
on
time
is
still
a
problem
.
他们是否能准时完成这项工作还是个问题。
5用if会引起歧义时,只用whether。如:
例12
Could
you
tell
me
if
you
know
the
answer
?
这句话有两种意思:“你能告诉我是否知道答案吗?”或“如果你知道答案,请告诉我,好吗?”。如用whether可避免歧义。
