用法辨析
- either作代詞時,意為“(二者之中)任何一個”,在句中作主語或賓語,表示單數(shù)概念; 作主語時謂語動詞一般用單數(shù)形式,但在否定句中常用復(fù)數(shù)形式。either可單獨用,也可和of連用, of后跟復(fù)數(shù)名詞或復(fù)數(shù)代詞,但意義明確時可省略of短語。
- either用作副詞時須放在否定的動詞或形容詞之后,表示“也(不)”,加強(qiáng)語氣。
- either在口語中有時也可放在否定句中的名詞后加強(qiáng)語氣。
- either可以和or連用,表示“或是…或是…”。在連接并列的主語時謂語動詞一般和鄰近的主語一致; 用于否定句中,表示“既(不)…又(不)”。
