1. 是否定句之后通常用 or代替 and。如:He spoke loudly and clearly. 他说话声间宏这且清晰。He didn’t speak loudly or clearly. 他说话声音不大且不清晰。2. 祈使句+and =if,而祈使句+or = unless. 如:Work hard, and you will succeed. (=If you work hard, you’ll succeed.) 努力工作,你就会成功。Work hard, or you won’t succeed. (=Unless you work hard, you won’t succeed. ) 努嫌悄力工作,否则你就不会成功(from www.zkenglish.com)。3. 有时 and与 or可换,如:life and (或段扰or) death (在死);有时and no与or互换。如:He has no brothers and no sisters = He has no brothers or sisters. 他没有兄弟姐妹。4. 在选择疑问句中,用or 不用and。如:Is it a pen or a pencil? 那是钢笑还是铅笔?Which is bigger, the sun or the earth? 太阳和地球哪个大?5. 在both 之后用and,在either之后握者旦用or。如:Both you and he are right. 你和他都是对的。Either you or he is right. 不是你对就是他对。
