B Using both . and . , not only . but (also) . , either . or . and neither . nor . Conjunctions like both and, not only but also, either or , and neither nor are used to connect the same part of two sentences to avoid repetition. The same parts can be the subjects, the objects or the adverbials. W e use both . and . to emphasize that something is true not just of one person, thing or situation, but of another too. Kitty has known something about the four people. I have known something about the four people. Both Kitty and I have known something about the four people. W e use not only . but (also) . to add another fact to something you have mentioned. Carelessness will be a disaster to ourselves. Carelessness will be a disaster to patients. Carelessness will be a disaster not only to ourselves but (also) to patients. W e use either . or . to mean one or the other , this or that, he or she, etc. Y ou take the lead. Y ou fall behind. Y ou either take the lead or fall behind. W e use neither . nor . to mean not this one and not the other , not this and not that, not he and not she, etc. My parents do not think I can make a good accountant. I do not think I can make a good accountant. Neither my parents nor I think I can make a good accountant. When we use the conjunctions to connect two subjects, the verb form after both . and . is always plural, but the verb form after not only . but (also) . , either . or . and neither . nor . can be plural or singular , depending on the subject that is closer to the verb. Both Kitty and Simon are energetic. Not only the students but (also) their teacher knows about the four people. Either Simon or David is ready to take on new challenges.
