Difference between "And" with "Or"

[Lara]

Dears,

I need to know if "and" and "Or" having the same rule while being written in the paragraph as the following:
e.g :
- Lara, Sana and Nour
- Lara, Sana or Nour or this needs to be Lara or Sana or Nour?
please verify

[Torsten]

It depends on the context. If you say Lara or Sana, you are referring to one of both. If you say Lara and Sana you are referring to both of them.

Hi,

My Question was " if i can use Or at the end of a series of sentences like and
as :
she is happay, smilling, deppressed or Fat ???
like its normal case to tell:
she is happy , smilling, and fat???
that what i was asking about
thanks

[Torsten]

Is she happy or depressed?
Is she happy and smiling?
Is she happy, smiling or depressed?

It all depends on what you want to ask. Your sentence 'she is happy, smiling, depressed, or fat' doesn't make any sense so please let me know what you want to say.
By the way, you might want to try to stick to proper spelling and punctuation so your text is easier to read and understand.

Many thanks,
Torsten

I want to know exactly if we can use “for long Series of Sentences been divided by commas”
If normally we can add OR at the end of the series of sentences like :
- Minimum requirements are having high degree, having car, well dressed or experienced for 5 years.
- Lara, sana, Ibrahim or Nour
As for and it is possible to add the “And” At the end of the series of sentences like:
- He is smart, remarkable, knowledgeable and handsome.

[Torsten]

Yes, you can say "He is smart, remarkable, knowledgeable and handsome." This means he possesses all the characteristics listed in your sentence.
As for your first sentence, what do you want to say -- that the candidate should have a university degree, possess a car and be able to dress well or, as an alternative, have 5 years of job experience. In other words, according to your sentence, the candidate doesn't need a university degree, a car and good attire if they have 5 years of job experience. If that's what you wan to say, your sentence is correct provided you 'fine tune' it a little.

Hi Lara,

I think this needs some clarification. 'And' simply links a series of adjectives/nouns/phrases/sentences. 'Or' suggests alternatives, which is not the same as 'and', which joins similar adjectives/nouns/phrases/sentences.
