CONJUNCTIONS → A Choice or Alternative

You use the conjunction or to link words, phrases or clauses that present a choice or alternative.

E.g.

• Would you like to have dinner now or later?

• I’ll contact you by phone or email.

The pairs either … or and neither … nor are used to lend greater emphasis to the alternatives.

E.g.

• Neither the boys nor Sally believes her story.

• Either Meiling
