exercise 5
	"Susanna," Mrs Alder called out, "I'd like you to come and meet Michael."
	A girl appeared in the doorway. "How do you do?" she said.
	"Nice to meet you," he mumbled.
	"Please don't call him Michelle or Mikey or any other silly names," warned Mrs Alder as she swept out of the room.
	"Have you read Harry Potter?" Susanna suddenly said.
	"What one?" he asked.
	"Oh no, you little Micky Mouse," she said as she came into the room, "you must say 'which one,' not 'what one,' if you're going to survive here."

Whether he was okay or not didn't really matter. (noun clause is the subject)

She wondered about whether he was okay. (noun clause is after a preposition)

She asked whether or not he was okay. (+ "or not")

I don't know whether to call her or not. (+ infinitive)
