Both - Neither - Either

Both = this AND that Either = this OR that Neither = NOT this and NOT that.

• Both is used with 'and'. "Emma and Megan both went to the party."

We don't usually use this with a negative sentence, but use neither instead. * "Both of us don't swim regularly." WRONG. "Neither of us swim regularly." RIGHT.

Either is used with 'or'. "Do you want either chocolate or crisps?" We often use neither with 'nor', although this is quite formal. "Neither Caroline nor Marguerite worked for EC during the world cup."   Be careful not to use neither with another negative. " don’t want neither chocolate nor crisps." WRONG. We can’t have a double negative!

precede means to come before something in time.

proceed means to begin or continue a course of action.

Of course they’re different. Learn to use them properly to improve your English proficiency. Good luck ;)

Language Books vs. Real Life

In a Textbook:

Man: Good morning.

Woman: Good morning. How do you do?

Man: How do you do?

Woman: What's your name?

Man: My name is Jack. I have been learning english for five years. And what is your name?

Woman: I'm called Kate. Your english is quite good.

Man: Thank you very much, Cate. That's because english is such an easy language to learn.

In real life:

Boy: Yo

Girl: Yo, sup?

Boy: Kay, ya name?

Girl: Kate, yours?

Boy: Jack.

Girl: Your english ain't that bad.

Boy: Thanx
