Grammar Help For My Chinese Friend
Hello Everyone,
I an currently tutoring a chinese high school student my same age via e-mail from China. He has asked a question which is part of his exam review and I would appreciate anyones help ASAP. But please dont get too technical seeing as he is still learning the language. His great question was
"What is the difference between if and whether"?
Can anyone help? I tried to answer him but I think I may have just confused him more.
Plz Help,
Manic

Examples: 1) I am going to the
