If vs Whether
◆Both if and whether are used in reportingquestions which expect ‘yesʼ or ‘noʼ as theanswer:
•She asked if/ whether I wanted adrink.
Although whether sounds more natural with particular verbs such as discuss, consider and decide. When a choice is offered between alternatives, if or whether can be used:
•We didnʼt know if/ whether we should write or phone.
In this last type of sentence, whether is usually considered more formal and more suitable for written English.
