Both of/ help
Message from kolokolchik posted on 15-08-2012 at 22:40:30
Hello,

Could I ask the next question on this forum, please?
I don't know where I must put the preposition "of": before or after "both". I hope you can help me, answering this question.
In 1921 her first book of short stories was published and attracted the attention both of critics and readers.
Thanks a lot.

Hello,
"either from" or "from either": both are acceptable.

Hello kolokolchik,

Please open a new topic for one question, not several questions one behind the other.
