Answer Key

1 . The book is neither green nor red . Neither must be followed by “nor” in a negative sentence and use a positive verb .

2 . He can’t speak English or French . You don’t speak either of them , even separately .

3. It costs two or three pounds . We must always insert the conjunction ‘or’ between numbers like this :two or three pounds .

4. She not only spoke loudly but also clearly . The same parts of speech are used after the correlative conjunctions ( conjunctions used in pairs like not only ---------but also ) .

5. He ate all the three oranges . Say “all” and avoid “and” .

6. I counted one hundred and seven people . Use the conjunction “and” to connect hundred , thousand ,million to a number of tens or units .

7. She wants to learn French (too) . ‘And’ is a conjunction ,and can only join similar forms of speech . We can’t use it instead of the adverbs also and too .

8 . He said , ‘You’ll be sorry for it .’ We cannot use ‘that’ in direct speech .

9 . I don’t know whether I’ll be able to go . Where ‘or not’ is implied , use whether not if  . If you do not expect a ‘Yes or No’ reply .

10. From now on I will work hard . The correct phrase is ‘from now on’ .
