Can anyone please clarify my
question on my
website “My questions is…?
If that is the case, you could go for
I am asking if…
This would need further rewording for the remainder of the sentence. How do
you know if a monkey is related to a giant panda?
A. The panda eats bamboo whereas the monkey eats bananas.
Are monkeys the same species as pandas? Can you see how the verb to be has moved from the beginning of the clause – where it would be placed in a direct question – to follow the subject as it is now a reported/indirect question?
A: Oh, I’m sorry. I’m sorry. Why the answer is no?
I hope this helps.

Asked on February 27, 2021 in Other.
…a lust for life… Your example, “great love of life” is not a common
one to my knowledge
but given the context (clairvoyance) its the sort of sentiment that is common to the situation.
What exactly is “lust for life”? One who always tries to always be interesting and interesting. Some people who tries to avoid negativity.
I believe in your words that the “love of life” means the
same thing to a ‘human being’: love of life. As I’ve seen a movie, I believe that that same thing still happens.

Asked on February 27, 2021 in Word choice.
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.
