all, most – grammar chart

The problem is that both, either and neither – and in particular both – have different functions. According to context (and to the grammar book you consult), they can be considered as quantifiers, adjectives, pronouns, correlating coordinators or adverbs. 1 Ask students to complete the sentences using both, neither or either. Check answers with the class. Answers: 1 both 2 neither 3 either 4 both 5 neither 6 either 7 both 8 neither 2 Tell students to imagine they are a teacher who has to correct the sentences. Give students time to compare their answers.
