Both, Either and Neither

In today’s class we are going to take a look at the differences that exist between either and neither. In addition, we are also going to learn how to use “both”. These three words are easily misunderstood and students have trouble using them correctly.

Before talking about each word seperately I would like to show you this image that summarizes the main differences. Analyze the image to understand better the correct use of these three words.

Image #1:

BOTH

• Both = the two; that one AND the other one; this one AND that one. (La traduccion seria “Ambos”)

Both can be used as a pronoun to refer to two things that we have already mentioned.

A: Do you want the blue blouse or the red one?
B: I’ll buy both (= the blue shirt AND the red shirt = both shirts)

Both X and Y
= not only X but also Y
