题目

— Excuse me.Could you tell me（ ） later on?-- Wait a minute.It is coming in ten minutes.
A.if the next train arrives
B.if the next train will arrive
C.when the next train arrives
D.when the next train will arrive
为什么不选D?能不能也可以填how soon the train will arrive
这个题怎么这么奇怪啊?

答案

B 是对的.
tell me if the next train will arrive
和
tell me whether the next train will arrive
有相同意思,即
下一班火车是否稍会儿就到来?
if 在这语境里和 whether 有一样用法.
