  1. both

    Both refers to two objects previously mentioned, or had in mind, viewed or acting in connection; as, both men fired at once; "two men fired" might mean any two, out of any number, and without reference to any previous thought or mention. Twain is a nearly obsolete form of two. The two, or the twain, is practically equivalent to both; both, however, expresses a closer unity. We would say both men rushed against the enemy; the two men flew at each other. Compare EVERY.

How to use both in a sentence?

  1. Thomas Chandler Haliburton:

    Hear one side and you will be in the dark. Hear both and all will be clear.

  2. Chani Johnson:

    I feel like I am more on the optimistic side of things and out of the dark head space that I was in and moving in the right direction. Both and he and his wife isolated from their two young daughters as he waited to be tested again. He said Chani Johnson feels fine and, aside from some allergies, is asymptomatic. He is certain he is fit to race, and tested himself in the Colorado mountains this week. I feel great. Ive been at altitude this entire time.

  3. Andrew Harnik/AP Clyde Lawrence:

    Since both our pay and theirs is a share of the show’s profits, we should be true partners aligned in our incentives — keep costs low while ensuring the best fan experience, but with Live Nation not only acting as the promoter but also the owner and operator of the venue, it seriously complicates these incentives.

  4. Marianne Baker:

    In all my years working for Senator Biden, I never once witnessed, or heard of, or received, any reports of inappropriate conduct, period -- not from Ms. Reade, not from anyone. I have absolutely no knowledge or memory of Ms. Reade's accounting of events, which would have left a searing impression on me as a woman professional, and as a manager, these clearly false allegations are in complete contradiction to both the inner workings of our Senate office and to the man I know and worked so closely with for almost two decades.

  5. C. C. Colton:

    Nothing more completely baffles one who is full of trick and duplicity than straigthforward and simple integrity in another. A knave would rather quarrel with a brother knave than with a fool, but he would rather avoid a quarrel with one honest man than with both. He can combat a fool by management and address, and he can conquer a knave by temptations. But the honest man is neither to be bamboozled nor bribed.
