Mhh5525April 2018 "either" means me and him for example.
"neither" means nobody.
basma97April 2018 I think so ^^
DannyBurneoMarch 2018 can i say this sentence:
"We will be either searched or found if we escape"
but without the "either"
![]() | RobertBMarch 2018 Syntactically, 'either' requires a negation in your sentence and 'neither' does not, but otherwise they can generally be used interchangeably. "I'm not use either one" is not correct English. Try "I'm not using either" or "I don't use either" or "I use neither". Adding 'one' is redundant but does add clarity (and therefore emphasis) that each choice was considered. 'One' may also segue into a phrase with more detail: "I use neither one, nor the other, as both have a range of problems." The difference between 'I am using' and 'I use' refers to whether the use takes place at this moment (I am using the phone right now, so please wait) or whether it refers to habit in general (I use the phone mostly in the morning, but sometimes in the afternoon). |
