The implicit choice is always 'yes' or 'no'. I'm not aware that any other explicit choice needs to be present to sanction the use of whether . And I don't know whether it used to be the rule. I don't know whether/if Susan agrees with me. We haven't decided yet whether/if we're going. I wasn't able to find out whether/if he was right.

Thank you. This is my own personal preference here. I would use the word 'if' instead of 'whether', reserving 'whether' for a case when there is a choice. "I wonder whether I should serve fish or beef." I may be wrong, but I believe that used to be the general rule. Some of the others might want to add their opinions.http://www.englishforums.com/English/IWonderWhether/dkpqb/post.htm#304311Fri, 27 Feb 2009 08:10:42 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:304311Yoong Liat7http://www.englishforums.com/English/IWonderWhether/dkpqb/post.htm#304311http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments12-304311.xmlMagda wrote: Hi, In a case of such a sentence "I wonder/was wondering whether you would go out with me", do I need a question mark at the end? Thank you. "I wonder/was wondering whether you would go out with me" is not a question, so no question mark is required. "Would you go with me?" requires a question mark because it is a question. I hope this helps.http://www.englishforums.com/English/IWonderWhether/dkpqb/post.htmMon, 27 Apr 2009 07:10:42 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:304301Magda8http://www.englishforums.com/English/IWonderWhether/dkpqb/post.htmhttp://www.englishforums.com/English/comments12-304301.xmlHi, In a case of such a sentence "I wonder/was wondering whether you would go out with me", do I need a question mark at the end?
