① 在一般将来时中,if 通常解释为“如果”。
例如:I will go shopping if it's sunny tomorrow.
② if 也可以解释为“是否”,与 whether 同义。
例如:I don't know if he is at home now.
1、主将从现:
If it rains(从句),I will stay at home(主句).
=I will stay at home if it rains.
2、一般现在时:
If you drive too fast,you may have an accident.
=You may have an accident if you drive too fast.
3、主句为祈使句,从句要用一般现在时态:
Don't play computer games if you don't finish your homework.
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。例如:
I wonder if/whether I can get some advice from you.
Ask him whether/if he can come.
