学习是学生的天职，考试是最好的试金石。天平在每个人心里，印迹在每个人眼中。精品学习网为大家整理了2014云南中考英语学习常见错误：both，希望同学们能够得到启示。

both ?

[误] They both are students.?

[正] They are both students.?

[误] They refuse both to answer this question.?

[正] They both refuse to answer this question.?

[析] both作同位语时，一般要用在be动词之后实意动词之前。

[误] I know his both parents.?

[正] I know both his parents.?

[误] The both brothers were students.?

[正] Both the brothers were students.?

[正] Both brothers were students.?

[析] 当both与形容词性物主代词my, his, her等以及定冠词the连用时，都应将这些词置于both之后。另外，在与定冠词连用时the可以省略。?

[误] Both of my parents are not at home.?

[正] Neither of my parents are at home.?

[误] Both of your answers are not right.?

[正] Neither of your answers is right.?

[正] Both your answers are wrong.?

[析] both不能用于否定句中作主语。表示"两者都不"时要用neither;但作宾语时both与either则都对，但要注意句意有所不同。例如：I cannot give both of the books to you. (我不能将两本书全给你。)而I cannot give either of the books to you. (两本书中哪本书也不能给你。)?
