题目内容
15.If he'll be able to come is not yet known.If改为Whether.分析 他是否会来还不知道.
解答 答案:If 改为Whether
此处用在句首引导主语从句,表达的是"是否"的意思;由于连词if(是否)不能用于句首来引导主语从句,故用Whether.
点评 做本题时,需要掌握从属连词if与whether的用法区别,尤其应注意whether的一些特定用法:
(1)引导主语从句且放在句首时.如:
Whether he will come is still a question.他是否会来还是个问题.
注:若在句首使用形式主语 it,而将主语从句放在句末,则有时也可用 if 来引导.如:
It was not known whether[if]he would come.不知他是否会来.
(2)引导表语从句时.如:
The question is whether we should go on with the work.问题是我们是否应该继续进行这项工作.
注:引导表语从句偶尔也用 if (很不正式),但远不如用 whether 常见.
(3)引导宾语从句且放在句首时.如:
Whether he is single I don't know.他是否单身,我不知道.
(4)引导让步状语从句时.如:
Whether he agrees or not,I shall do that.不管他同意与否,我都要那样做.
(5)与 or 连用分别引导两个从句时.如:
I don't know whether he is wrong or she is wrong.我不知道是他错了,还是她错了.
注:or 若不是引导两个从句,而是连接两个词或短语,则也可用 if (但不如用 whether 常见).如:
He didn't know if[whether]we should write or phone.他不知道我们是写信好还是打电话好.
(6)用于不定式之前时.如:
I'm not sure whether to stay or leave.我不知是留还是去.
I didn't know whether to laugh or to cry.我真是哭笑不得.
(7)用于介词之后时.如:
It depends on whether the letter arrives in time.这取决于信是否来得及时.
I worry about whether I hurt her feelings.我担心是否伤了她的感情.
(8)直接与 or not 连用时.如:
I will write to you whether or not I can come.我能不能来,我将写信告诉你.
注:若不是直接与 or not 用在一起,则有时也可用 if.如:
I don't know whether[if]he will win or not.我不知他是否能赢.
(9)在某些动词后(如 discuss 等) 通常只用 whether.如:
We discussed whether we should hold a meeting.我们讨论了是否要开一个会.
