Freddies English Teaching Course

[Ana1202]

Great thread !!

Can you explain me how to use either/neither ??

[dilek]

can somebody tell me what does "though" mean?

i looked at dictionary of course but it doesn't have a meaning in turkish

it says "the word you're looking for doesn't exist in Turkish

EDIT: found it.but still doesn't make sense to me....

i can't tell the difference between sentences with "though" or without "though"

Ok frederick has asked me to keep up with this thread for him as hes gone

Either means ONE or the OTHER or BOTH... meaning Either wear the Blue jeans or the RED jeans they both look good .. or how do you like mikas hair , choose between EITHER straight OR curly ... if you like straight AND curly .. EITHER are good ....

If you like none ... you like NEITHER ... and would rather him be bald or NOT HAVE ANY those hair styles ....

Although can be used instead of BUT ... BUT is more direct , ALTHOUGH can be considered more polite and a more professional word...

And when do you use than and when then?

When --- ... Usually used WHEN you are explaining something --- When - can also mean at that time .... When i went to the shop / at the time i went to the shop ..... when i saw mika / at the time i saw mika ....

Than -- usually present tense ... Then - past tence

example ...

PRESENT tense - I like mika more THAN freddie M .... PAST Tense - i used to like freddie M , THEN i liked mika more ...

Hello!!
This is a great idea for a thread! I couldn't help taking a peek...can I add something? I'm sorry, I can't resist, it's the English teacher in me

THAN is normally used in comparisons:
I like Mika more than Amy Winehouse.
She can run faster than me.

THEN is to do with time:
I finished my homework, then I went to the cinema.

(Sorry I hope I'm not stepping on anyone's toes here, I couldn't resist )
