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’ .
