| § 1. both … and … |
| When using both and and to link parallel elements, make the words or phrases that follow them correspond grammatically. That is, whatever grammatical construction follows both, the same construction should also follow and. Thus you should say Sales have risen in both India and China or Sales have risen both in India and in China, but not Sales have risen both in India and China. | 1 |
