A Choice or Alternative
You use the conjunction or to link words, phrases or
clauses that present a choice or alternative.
E.g.
• Would you like to have dinner now or later?
• I’ll contact you by phone or email.
The pairs either … or and neither … nor are used
to lend greater emphasis to the alternatives.
E.g.
• Neither the boys nor Sally believes her story.
• Either Meiling or Sharon is going to the
airport today.
