"j6y1W-n5M!\7p o5sEnglish learners' Forumbbs.englishcn.com6{:N7]$a!f9v"N.S(q.u"}
Answer: A noun is considered uncountable when it is something you literally cannot count (e.g. Water, justice, knowledge).    Some mass nouns, or nouns without plural forms, are considered uncountable too (e.g. furniture, luggage, equipment).    Other mass nouns are considered countable or uncountable depending on the context.

如果句子是关于两个人分别做不同的动作，那么就应该用逗号。另一个检测的办法就是看是否可以不用做任何修改就把原来的句子分成两个单独的句子。如果可以的话，你就需要加一个逗号。另外，如果逗号连接的两个句子之间没有连接词的话，你还学要加一个连接词。

Question 86: What is the difference between Either - Or and Neither - Nor? And how do I decide which one to apply?
$_7k(B2d!X'U#V;]#b4W+uBBS.EnglishCN.com是英语学习者和爱好者交流与提高的地方5K(_8B8t1r+j9N#t*y
Answer: The differentiation is based on the negative or positive context of the phrase in which these words are used. For example:
%z;Q d;F9[BBS.EnglishCN.com是英语学习者和爱好者交流与提高的地方
$Q4\7p'`3G9?$]7C3wBBS.EnglishCN.com是英语学习者和爱好者交流与提高的地方I would choose either the chocolate or the strawberry flavoring.

*h0{8h6}({ I英语网上资源论坛,中西杂谈,英语问题区,电脑英语论坛,实用英语论坛,翻译论坛-口译笔译,出国考试 ,国内考试,国际交友,同城交流,英语娱乐区,中文休闲屋,论坛精华区,英语学习,英语快餐,English study,English BBS,Forum,英语博客基地bbs.englishcn.com"p D-[7r2r"m;o
As you can see, when the choice is positive for one or the other of the flavors, the wording is either - or. However, when the context is negative then neither choice is accepted and the appropriate wording is neither - nor.

9`&M,Q#b(A6P!V3Mbbs.englishcn.comBBS.EnglishCN.com是英语学习者和爱好者交流与提高的地方"q |0H$c2O$X)f
回答：两者的不同主要取决于句子在文中是表示肯定还是否定的意思。例如：英语论坛-英语麦当劳 w+B3q:~&]
I would choose either the chocolate or the strawberry flavoring.英语网上资源论坛,中西杂谈,英语问题区,电脑英语论坛,实用英语论坛,翻译论坛-口译笔译,出国考试 ,国内考试,国际交友,同城交流,英语娱乐区,中文休闲屋,论坛精华区,英语学习,英语快餐,English study,English BBS,Forum,英语博客基地#J#o$E(d,E-M;R

4_8I6|0h'?:oBBS.EnglishCN.com是英语学习者和爱好者交流与提高的地方English learners' Forum5}2M(_"a7{-j$N3G4I
你可以发现，如果是选择两者中的某一个，那么就应该用either - or。如果问中的意思是否定的，那么就选用neither - nor。

Question 87: When is it best to use ensure versus insure?%N {&g8K4z2T
bbs.englishcn.com'z,V"c"r,\0X/d n/j
Answer:    Although ensure and insure are interchangeable synonyms, insure has a distinct usage for an action taken as a precaution and prior to an action, such as the act of taking out an insurance policy.

/N,|2m1_*g4{"s#S2s"rEnglish learners' Forum
"t!C'}2F,_,C7p9obbs.englishcn.com回答：虽然两者发音相同，仅一个字母之差，而且有时可以互相取代。但是insure有一个不同的用法，就是表示在发生一件事情之前采取的预警行为或预防措施，比如去保险。
