hi friends.. my questions are sometimes weird, my teachers used to say so, but i think i can ask them here.
My question is whether i can use "both" in the end of any sentence. Like, i like apple and orrange both.
my native language is bengali and in bengali that usage is grammetical.
thanks..

sabdokalpodrum I like apples and oranges both.
That is grammatically possible but very poetic. Rover's revision is the common and normal word order.
