Can I use “either, both, neither” in more than 2 options
0
It's known that "either A or B" means anyone of the two options. How about anyone of more than 2 options? Either A, B, or C?
How about "both A and B" in the same case? Is "both A, B and C" right?
When meaning negtive, can neither be used to negate anyone of more than 2 options？For example, if a host ask I "What do you wanna drink? Wine, soda, or juice? " Can I reply "Neither, water is better to me"?
