زمانی که در مورد دو نفر یا دو چیز صحبت میکنیم، میتوانیم از کمیتسنجهای both, either و neither استفاده کنیم.
به جدول زیر نگاهی بیندازید:
| More than two supermarkets | Two supermarkets | One supermarket |
|---|---|---|
| All the supermarkets | ||
| were closed. | Both the supermarkets | |
| were closed. | The supermarket | |
| was closed. | ||
| None of the supermarkets | ||
| were open. | Neither of the supermarkets | |
| was open. | The supermarket | |
| wasn’t open. | ||
| I don’t think any of the supermarkets | ||
| were open. | I don’t think either of the supermarkets | |
| was open. | I don’t think the supermarket | |
| was open. |
- دقت کنید که: اسم همراه با both با فعل جمع به کار برده میشود ولی اسم همراه با either و neither با فعل مفرد به کار برده خواهد شد.
