用法解读："Whether or not"除了可以表示“是否”之意，还可以引导让步状语从句，表示“不管是否……”。
whether or not的读音：英 [ˈweðə(r) ɔː(r) nɒt] 美 [ˈweðər ɔːr nɑːt]
1、We'll go on with the work, whether we can find the necessary tools or not.
我们会继续这件工作不管能否找到必须的工具。
2、I show everything on my face, whether I am angry or pleased.
不管是生气还是高兴，我的心情都写在脸上。
扩展资料
whether，if这两个连词都作“是否”解，引导宾语从句时，两者通常可以互换。
但在下列几种情况下,不可用if 代替whether。
1)当whether 与or not连成词组时。
I don't know whether or not they will come for our help.
我不知道他们是否来帮助我们。
2)whether 用在不定式前面时。
She hasn't decided whether to go or not.
她还没有决定去还是不去。
3)whether引导的从句放在句首时。Whether this is true or not,I can't say.
这是不是真的,我不说(或我说不准)

if与whether用法区别
1.下列情况只能用whether：
（1）直接与or not连用时,往往用whether(if„or not也可以使用)。如: Let me know whether or not he will come.
(= Let me know whether / if he will come or not.) 让我知道他是否能来。
I don't know whether or not he does any washing. (= I don't know whether / if he does any washing or not.) 我不知道他在家洗不洗衣服。
I wonder whether we stay or whether we go. 我想知道我们是去还是留。 (2) 在介词之后用whether。如：
I'm interested in whether he likes English．
我关心的是他是否喜欢英语。
We're thinking about whether we can finish the work on time．
我们正在考虑是否能按时完成这项工作。 I worry about whether I hurt her feelings．
我担心是否伤了她的感情。 (3)在不定式前用whether。如：
He hasn't decided whether to visit the old man．
他尚未决定是否拜访那位老人。
I don't know whether to go．我不知去否。
He hasn't decided whether to go by bus or by train．
他还未决定是乘公共汽车去还是坐火车去。
（4）whether置于句首时，不能换用if。如： Whether this is true or not，I can't say．
这是否真的我说不上来。
（5）引导主语从句和表语从句时宜用whether。如：
Whether she will come or not is still a question．
她是否能来还是个问题。
The question is whether we can catch the bus．
问题是我们能否赶上公共汽车。
（6）若用if会引起歧义时，则用whether。如：
Please let me know if you like the book．可理解为： a．Please let me know whether you like the book．
请告诉我你是否喜欢这本书。
b．If you like the book，please let me know．
你如果喜欢这本书，请告诉我
2. 如果宾语从句是否定式，就只能用if引导。如：
Idon’t care if it doesn’t rain. 我不管天是否不下雨。
3. 如果宾语从句原来是特殊疑问句，只需用原来的疑问词引导。但一定要注意从句的语序是陈述语序，时态与主句相呼应，句尾标点符号取决于主句。如果主句是问的就用“？”，是陈述的就用“．”。如：
Where will we have the meeting this afternoon? Could you tell me? →
Could you tell me where we will have the meeting this afternoon?
你能告诉我我们今天下午将在哪儿开会吗?
Who bought the present for me？I don't know．→
I don't know who bought the present for me. 我不知道谁给我买了礼物。
4．当一个特殊疑问句本身就是陈述语序（即“主＋谓＋（宾）”或“主＋系＋表”结构），将其变为间接引语（即宾语从句）时，无需改变语序。例如： What’s the matter with him? She asked me. →
She asked me what was the matter with him. Who looks after your grandfather? He asked me. → He asked me who looked after my grandfather.
5. 当主句的谓语动词是think (认为), know（知道）, believe（相信）, suppose（料想）, guess（猜想）等表示看法的词时，有下列两种情况：
（1）如果主句的主语是第一人称，后接的宾语从句的否定词通常要移动到主句中，即否定主句动词，这种形式称为“否定的转移”。这种前置否定的宾语从句要变成反意疑问句时，疑问部分的主、谓语要与从句一致。如：
He isn’t a student . I think. →
I don’t think that he is a student, is he? She can’t do that. We suppose. →
We don’t suppose that she can do that, can she?
(2)如果主句的主语是第二三人称时，否定词通常不转移，但它的反意疑问句的主、谓语应与主句一致。如
He thinks he can’t go with you, does he?
She thought she couldn’t do that this afternoon, did she?
6. 当主句的谓语动词是think (认为), know（知道）, believe（相信）, suppose（料想）, guess（猜想）say（说）， imagine（想象）等表示看法的词时（know除外），如果引导宾语从句的是特殊疑问词，且是疑问句时，要将特殊疑问词放到句首。即，
特殊疑问词+do you think／say/„+ 从句．如： (1) Do you say how old he is? (×) How old do you say he is? (√)
(2) Do you think what is the fastest way to travel ? (×) What do you think is the fastest way to travel ? (√) (3) Do you suppose what he wanted? (×) What do you suppose he wanted? (√) 7. it作形式宾语的情况
常用句型为：think/believe/find/feel + it + adj. / n. + that从句。如： I think it possible that he hasn’t come. 我认为他没有来是可能的。
I feel it easy that he studies English well. 我发现他学习英语是容易的。
I feel it your duty that you serve the people. 我觉得为人民服务是你的职责。

If和whether 都用来引导由一般疑问句变化来的名词性从句，但在下列情况下只能用whether引导：
1.引导主语从句，并且该从句放句首时：
Whether the pop star will come (or not) is not decided.
2. 引导的名词性从句后部有用or连接的另一选项时：
He asked me whether my daughter would attend day classes or night ones.
3.表示‘是否’意义的名词性从句做decide的宾语时。
You will decide whether we are going to his party.
4. 做介词宾语时
His success depends upon whether his father will offer him financial assistance本回答被网友采纳
