What does Either really mean?

Hey there! So, the word "either" can be a little tricky to understand, but don't worry, I'm here to help break it down for you. "Either" is a word that we use when we are talking about two things or options. It's like saying "one or the other." So, if I were to say, "You can have either an apple or an orange," it means you can choose between the two fruits.

Now, "either" can also be used to show that something is true for both of two options. For example, if I were to say, "either your mom or dad can pick you up from school," it means that it could be true for either one of them.

So, in a nutshell, "either" is all about presenting options or showing that something is true for both of two things. It's like having a magical door that can lead to two different places, and you can only pick one.

I hope that helps! Let me know if you have any other questions or if there's anything else you'd like me to explain. Keep up the great work!
