When making comparisons, either goes with or and neither with nor:Ex :I want to buy either a new desktop computer or a laptop, but I have neither the

cash nor the credit I need.

Either often gets misplaced in a sentence:

Ex :He either wanted to buy a car or a motorbike ( Wrong )Ex :He wanted to buy either a car or a motorbike.

In this example, both things are wanted, so either comes after the verb.But if the action is different in regard to the things compared, the either has to

come before the verb:

He wanted either to buy a car or hire a motorbike .

Here two differentactionsare being compared, so the either has to precede both actions.

Both andSubjects connected by 'both and' take the a plural conjugation.

Examples:Both Alice and Janice attended USC.

Both Jim and Peter are attending the conference in New York this weekend.

Either orEither or' is used in sentences in a positive sense meaning "one or the other, this or that, he

or she, etc." Verb conjugation depends on the subject (singular or plural) closest to the

conjugated verb.

Examples:

Expression Example

both and I like both cats and dogs.

So Jane likes cats. So do I.

not either Jane doesn't like cats. I don't like cats either.

either or Jane either has a cat or a dog.

neither/nor Jane doesn't like cats. Neither do I./Nor do I.

neither nor I like neither cats nor dogs.

Space travel provides unique health challenges. Astronauts must protect themselvesfrom X-rays and other radiation, keep clean while in space, and exercise their bodies to

combat the effects of weightlessness. In some ways, astronauts face the same health

concerns that people on Earth do but at an accelerated rate; other health concerns are unique

to travel through space.

Hygiene is as important in space as it is on Earth. If astronauts do not clean theirbodies regularly, they become susceptible to germs. It would be difficult to take a

shower in space because of the lack of gravity. Astronauts take a sponge bath everyday, using one washcloth for washing and one for rinsing, and wash their hair with

rinseless shampoo.

Read then answer the question below:

From our small world we have gazed upon the cosmic ocean for thousands ofyears. Ancient astronomers observed points of light that appeared to move among the

stars. They called these objects "planets," meaning wanderers, and named them after

Roman deitiesJupiter, king of the gods; Mars, the god of war; Mercury, messenger

of the gods; Venus, the goddes of love and beauty, and Saturn, father of Jupiter and

god of agriculture. The stargazers also observed comets with sparkling tails, and

meteors or shooting stars apparently falling from the sky.

The four planets closest to the sunMercury, Venus, Earth, and Marsare

called the terrestrial planets because they have solid rocky surfaces. The four large

planets beyond the orbit of MarsJupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptuneare called

gas giants. Tiny, distant, Pluto has a solid but icier surface than the terrestrial planets.

Nearly every planetand some of the moonshas an atmosphere. Earth's

atmosphere is primarily nitrogen and oxygen. Venus has a thick atmosphere of carbon

dioxide, with traces of poisonous gases such as sulfur dioxide. Marss carbon dioxide

atmosphere is extremely thin. Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune are primarily

hydrogen and helium. When Pluto is near the sun, it has a thin atmosphere, but whenPluto travels to the outer regions of its orbit, the atmosphere freezes and collapses to

the planet's surface. In that way, Pluto acts like a comet.

In four sentences of your own write down why it is difficult to live on other

planets:
