Question

I could not decide whether or not to go to the party.
I could not decide (whether or not to go to the party.)
whether不是连词么,为什么引导的从句没有动词?

Answer 1

首先,连词不一定要连接句子,而句子必须要有连词连接,比如and不一定要在句子之间,也可以在单词之间,而whether or not 是一个选择的固定搭配,后面一定接动作或者状态,而动作或状态的形式是可以随意的,比如 He seemed undecided whehther to go or stay.这句中whether连接不定试选择,比如,i'll see whether she's at home,这是一个状态,也是个句子,或者whether you like it or not,后面都是连接句子.所以whether后面不是一定连接句子,只要是可选择的动作或状态,句子或不定试都是可以的.
