Question

What is difference between "Either" and "Or"?
can I use only "Or" ?

Answer

Either is generally used with or to signify a choice "you can have either _____ or _____". Confusingly, either can also mean "as well" or a connection between previous sentences. for example " I don't want that either"

"you can eat either the apple or the orange"

but preference is just with or "Would you like the apple or the orange?"
