Sorry I am Raúl the new team leader for the sales. I have one or two questions reference at the applications used in the office. Great, first welcome, Raúl. What is your question? For the meeting customers, we use google meet or the company use one especific app? Don't worry, we use Google, but please record the meeting; don't forget. Ok, I understood, and for the data entry for new customers by ordering the product, what app do we use? We can use the Oracle customs service, but you need the credentials for the up session. For credentials at the technology department, you can visit only on weekdays; don't visit on Saturday or Sunday because it is not working. Excelent, tank for much
no se por que a ella no le entiendo nada :(
Hi Jazmin, I hope you are able to understand the other classes more. I will make sure to take this feedback and speak slower in my future courses.
gracias :)
The strategic use of "or" and "either... or" makes it possible to structure clear decisions, present exclusive alternatives, and establish precise communication rules in the work environment.
3 key concepts
· Multiple choice ("Or"): Connects words, phrases, or full sentences to offer open options or deny multiple alternatives in negative contexts.
· Exclusivity ("Either... or"): Delimits mutually exclusive options where only one alternative is viable, avoiding operational confusion.
· Instrumental application: Defines clear rules on the use of everyday tools (such as Notion, Slack, or Zoom) and professional behavior guidelines.
Mastering these conjunctions transforms ambiguity into clear and direct instructions, essential for impeccable professional communication.
In daily management, these structures make it possible to draft clear team policies, assign specific technological tools, and coordinate schedules without room for error.
Do you want tea coffe
we can meet today or tomorrow
you can study at home or at school.
Do you want coffee or milk?
Good afternoon everyone. Good class.
New vocabulary (for me):
Can I use "or" between full sentences?
Yes, you can use or as a bridge to connect two complete, independent thoughts that represent different possibilities. Instead of writing short, choppy sentences, you link them to show a direct choice, such as: "We can start now, or we can wait five minutes." Just remember to place a comma right before the or when connecting two full sentences, giving the reader a visual pause while clearly separating the two scenarios.
How does "or" work in negative sentences?
In negative sentences, or acts as a sweeping tool to eliminate multiple options at once without sounding clunky. When paired with negative words like don't or can't, it applies that negative state to everything in your list, much like a bouncer saying "No sneakers or hats" to ban both items. Using or keeps your boundaries crystal clear, so saying "I don't have time for a call or a meeting" perfectly communicates that both events are impossible.
What happens if I have three options?
When you have three or more options, you don't need to repeat the word or between every single item, as that would sound exhausting to read. Instead, treat it exactly like a standard list by separating the first few items with commas and placing the or right before the very last option. Think of it like a drumroll leading up to the final choice: "We need a logo, a banner, or a short video."
I play soccer, or I sometimes play basketball.
You can either program in Python or Java.
When should I use "either... or"?
Use either... or when you want to force a strict choice where only one outcome is possible, making them mutually exclusive. Think of it like a fork in the road where you can only drive down one path; saying "You can either have tea or coffee" emphasizes that the person must pick exactly one, not both. This removes ambiguity in professional settings, like stating "We will either launch on Tuesday or delay it," ensuring your team knows there is no middle ground.
I take my class in the morning or in the afternoon?
Definitly I can either take it at night today or tomorow.
you can watch the match on tv or on your cell phone
you can either do your homework now o after work
