  • Do you like tea or coffee?这是个选择疑问句,在英语选择疑问句中or是不能够换成and的.再如:

    Is it a pen or a pencil?那是钢笔还是铅笔?

    Which is bigger,the sun or the earth?太阳和地球哪个大?

    在否定句中,两个并列的被否定成分要用or连接,而不能用and.如:

    Mary never skis or skates.

    玛丽从不滑雪,也不溜冰.

    He didn’t speak loudly or clearly.

    他说话声音不大且不清晰.

    但是,如果是两个否定的并列成分,要用and连接,如:他没有兄弟姐妹.

    He has no brothers or sisters.=He has no brothers and no sisters.

    另外要注意下列两个基本句型中的and或or:祈使句+and =if,而祈使句+or = unless.如:

    Work hard,and you will succeed.(=If you work hard,you’ll succeed.)

    努力工作,你就会成功.

    Work hard,or you won’t succeed.(=Unless you work hard,you won’t succeed.)

    努力工作,否则你就不会成功.

    但是,语言是活的.在具体的语言环境中,有时候是可以理解为“和”的,正如你举的例子:“Do you have any brothers or / and sisters?”有时可以理解成“你有兄弟姐妹么?”
