Notice that all these sentences mean the same thing: Both boys have been ill', 'Both the boys have been ill', 'Both of the boys have been ill', 'The boys have both been ill'. You cannot say 'Both of boys have been ill', although when a pronoun is used, you can say 'Both of them have been ill'. See also note at all.
注意以下各句含义相同:Both boys have been ill, Both the boys have been ill, Both of the boys have been ill, The boys have both been ill(两个男孩都病了)。不能用 Both of boys have been ill,但在和代词一起使用时可以说 Both of them have been ill(他们两个都病了)。亦见all词条下的说明。
Usage | both . . . and |
In sentences with both . . . and use a plural verb: Both the meat and the vegetables are organic. |
