either and wether

[Zarebanadko]

May I ask someone please to help me figure out the difference between:
either and whether
I would be grateful for your reply

Hi Zarebanadko,

'Either' is used to show two alternatives in a choice as in: You can choose between those two meals. You can eat either fish or meat.
'Whether' is used as a conjunction suggesting alternatives as in: I don't whether I'll come or not.

Put the two together: You say I can have either fish or meat and my problem is I can't decide whether I want fish or meat.

Alan
