Want to learn how to use “either,” “or,” “neither,” “nor,” and “both”? This grammar guide explains these useful pairs with clear rules, examples, and everyday situations. Perfect for anyone starting an English course in Dubai or looking to learn to speak English fluently.
Are you learning English and feel confused when you see words like either, or, neither, nor, and both? Don’t worry. Many students—even native speakers—get them mixed up! These words are part of English grammar called correlative conjunctions. They help us join parts of a sentence.
Correlative conjunctions are pairs of words that work together. They link two ideas that are similar in structure and importance. Think of them like teamwork—they come in pairs and balance the sentence.
either … or
neither … nor
both … and
not only … but also
whether … or
as … as
such … that
no sooner … than
Let’s explore each one closely and in detail.
Use this when you are talking about two options, and only one will happen or is true.
Structure: either + noun/verb/phrase + or + noun/verb/phrase
Example:
Use this pair to say that both options are not true or do not happen.
Structure: neither + noun/verb/phrase + nor + noun/verb/phrase
Example:
Use this to show that two ideas are true or that you want to include both.
Structure: both + noun/verb/phrase + and + noun/verb/phrase
Example:
Use this to emphasise two strong points. The second part often adds something surprising or extra.
Structure: Not only + A + but also + B
Examples:
Tip: This structure works great in writing and formal speech. It shows variety and richness.
Use this to show options when the outcome is the same. It’s often used with uncertainty or possibilities.
Structure: Whether + A + or + B
Examples:
Use this to compare things of equal value.
Structure: As + adjective/adverb + as
Examples:
Use this to show a cause and a surprising result. It puts strong focus on how intense or extreme something is.
Structure: Such + noun phrase + that + result
Examples:
When to use: In storytelling or giving reasons during your English courses, this helps add drama or emotion.
Use this to describe one thing happening immediately after another. This is more formal and often used in writing or speeches.
Structure: No sooner + past perfect/simple past + than + simple past
Examples:
Correlative conjunctions always come in pairs. Don’t separate them or match them with the wrong word.
The two parts of your sentence must be grammatically similar. This means using the same structure on both sides of the conjunction.
For both…and, always use a plural verb:
Some correlative conjunctions, like no sooner…than, are more formal and are best used in writing or formal speech. They may sound odd in everyday conversation.
Choose the style that fits your situation—something you’ll learn through real conversation practice in your English course in dubai.
Pairs like not only…but also and such…that are great for emphasis. But using them too much in your writing or speaking can feel forced or repetitive.
Try completing these:
Grammar can seem tricky, but it becomes easy when you practice it with real-life examples and friendly support. Whether you’re attending a Business English class or just starting out at an English language institute Dubai, understanding these words will make your speech more professional and your writing more clear.
