Tip 16.  'Whether'

Which of the options DOES NOT complete this sentence correctly?

We have been asked to present our view .................... the recent changes to the law will significantly affect the company.

A. whether

Correct answer!

Comment:

If your priority is to write clearly, use option C. 'View on whether' is plainer English than 'view as to whether'.

If you prefer to write in a formal style, you can use option D - 'view with respect to whether...'

Also compare: 'Whether you are an expert or not, we would like to hear your views.'

='Regardless of whether you are an expert / Even if you are not an expert, we would like to hear your views.'

B. as to whether

Wrong answer, try again!

C. on whether

Wrong answer, try again!

D. with respect to whether

Wrong answer, try again!
