either的用法,什么时候要用either,什么时候用neither

1个回答

  • neither和either的用法

    1.共同点:

    1)它们都可用作主语、宾语和定语.

    例如:①Neither of the books is good.(主)

    ②He phoned neither of us yesterday.(宾)

    ③Neither way is correct.(定)

    ④I don't think either of them is at home.(主)

    ⑤Here are two knives.You can take either of them.(宾)

    ⑥There are shops on either side of the street.(定)

    2)Neither和either作定语时,其后的名词都用单数.例如:

    Neither book gives the answer.

    There are tall buildings on either side of the road.

    2.不同点:

    neither是表示“两都不”的否定说法,而either是表示“两人或两物中任何一个”的肯定说法.

    注意:

    A.either作为副词表示“也”,不同于too,also,either通常用于否定句的末尾,too通常用于肯定句的句 末;而also通常用于肯定句和疑问句中,其位置一般用在to be之后,其它动词之前.
