Please show me example sentences with a verb + if + WILL + a verb . Tell me as many daily expressions as possible.
I'm wondering whether we can make a list of particular verbs that are followed by "will" when "if" is used in a sentence.
I am aware of "know, tell." I think that "believe" can also be used the same way.
E.g
Do you know if she'll come?
(I can't now think of a sentence which contains tell + if + will + a verb)

That's reported speach I see. So, this is an indirect question. While the direct would be "Will she come?" the indirect goes "I wish to know if/whether she will come". Now, there are not specified expressions that go with if+verb, but they are all the expressions you can think that have to do with inquiry. Like:
I wish to know if...
I'd like to know if...
I was wondering if...
I'd like to ask if...
Can I ask if...

I've been misunderstood. Your sentence is the first conditional [will + be if a VERB].
My sentence above is not a conditional.

you could say 'Can you tell if she will come?'
