He invited both of us to dinner. HE INVITED US BOTH TO DINNER. It is clear that in the second sentence "both" follows a personal pronoun.If "both" has to precede a personal pronoun, (as shown in the first sentence) then the phrase "both of" is inevitable .It is quite interesting. Thank you Andrew. In my opinion, Andrew is the best teacher to cover extensively all grammatical points. This is the best channel for learners of English grammar.
Hello Andrew! Please Andrew, I want you to clarify something for me . The rule says: With certain verbs we use the past perfect simple in contexts where learners might expect to use the past perfect continuous: "I had understood that she was dissatisfied for a long time before she said anything. " The rule is clear Alhamdulillah, but I don't get the example itself, why do I should expect using the past perfect continuous in this example? I really want to know and thank you in a advance.
Can we use "both" in a negative sentence ? Should we use "both" or "either" in the following sentence? I was invited to two parties but I didn't go to both/either of them.
Excellent question. "I like them both" and " I like both of them" mean the same thing. "I like them both" is correct and " I like both of them" is also correct. We could say- They are both correct! You can therefore choose which one you want to use. :) Andrew

Explanations are not for free friend
Yeah, I wanted to buy both t-shirts, but only this shirt fited me. That's why I went for it.
I bought both of these purses for us. You can take any them if you like so.
Cam we understand" both" in this sentence "we both visited our parents "as pronoun acting as an appositive
Hello
"We both visited our parents." is a grammatically correct sentence.

Great lesson but the word 'infer' is misused. It means to deduce or conclude from available evidence.
Can we use "both" in a negative sentence ? Should we use "both" or "either" in the following sentence? I was invited to two parties but I didn't go to both/either of them.
"I was invited to two parties but I didn't go to either of them." - is correct in the negative.
Best wishes

You might want to pronounce " demonstrative" as /dəˈmɑ̃nstɹətɪv/, that is, accent on the second syllable. Cheers, mate!
I like them both or I like both of them?
Excellent question.
"I like them both" and " I like both of them" mean the same thing.
"I like them both" is correct and " I like both of them" is also correct.
We could say- They are both correct!
You can therefore choose which one you want to use. :)
