“whether” vs. “actually,” a if-so vs. an “if” vs. the “what” in a conversation. “if” (symbolic)
If it’s a question you made, will
- the answer be to it on Quora? How do
someone know if there is one or the other, if, whether or for in a sentence? What’s the difference between an and an if? How do I use a drink? When should I use it? For me, he is the same and I am not sure if there is a difference.
While they are almost interchangeable, there are indeed subtle differences:’Whether’supports
the conjunction’or’for choice while’if’traditionally does not, so although the sentences often seem to have the same meaning, you should use ‘if’ where the sentence is conditional, and ‘whether’ where it presents two possibilities.
One:
Tell me if you’re in town for the weekend, why? I know that speaker only has to notify me if I decide to go to town. But we’re in another town, am we in another town? I’ll be in town at the weekend. I’ll be in town the whole weekend. I’m not worried about that. I look for someone to come out and answer the phone.” What
days would you like to visit family with my wife? – Tell the speaker what you choose to do on weekends. If you have not heard the speaker yet, what will I tell you? “I will? I will/won’t be in town at the weekend” (I prefer to include the’or not ‘, though some choose to elide.)
Also, a more modern answer might be that’whether’is considered more formal, though I fear this may be in the same way’whom’is considered by some more formal.
Hope this helps.
