English Grammar Pattern 64
Do you know + if (or whether) + Noun + Verb + Long Noun
Model SentenceDo you know if we can connect to the Internet from here?
This is quite a long sentence pattern. The final clause is, in fact, just a long sentence. See English Grammar Pattern 19 for examples. So, if you can simply say "Do you know if..." (or "Do you know whether...") and then add a sentence, you will do well. With practice, long sentences such as these become easy, so keep on practicing!
