"either...or"

[Lilish]

Hello;
Which of the following sentences is correct?
"You must either take a bus or a train."
"You must take either a bus or a train."

[Thredder]

Both would be understandable, but the second one is better.
In the first one, having 'either' before the verb 'take' implies that there will be another very after the 'or' e.g. You must either [take a bus] or [go by train].
In the second one, having the either after the verb makes it clear that the same verb applies to both options.

hope this helps.

Hello;
Does it make any difference whether to use 'either'at the beginning of the sentence or in the middle?is there a rule when to use it at the beginning? for example:
"Either English is easy to understand,or she is vey clever."/"English is either easy to understand or she is very clever."

[Thredder]

No, no difference there
