Question about "Both" ,"All", Neither" and "None".Help me.
There are two people in the room.
How many of them are female?
#A. Both of them are female.
One of them is female.
#B. Neither of them are female.
-----------------------------------------------
Q. Can I replace "Both" as "All" in #A ?
and "Neither" as "None" in #B?
I have known "Both"and "Neither" are used under 2 events,
"All " and "None" are used over 3 times.
So I'm curious If " All" and "None" can be used under 2 events like that.

ljswave Can I replace "both" with "all" in #A and "neither" with "none" in #B? No, because you are talking about two people. For three or more, all and none would be correct.
