| Aug 23, 2018 at 14:00 | comment | added | John Arvin | @Drazex, very useful, sagacious tip there hehe. But can I add an extra to this... ''Neither of them are level 6 yet" -is that ok? | |
| Aug 23, 2018 at 13:22 | comment | added | Drazex | @JohnArvin Negatives should go earlier in the sentence; we like to make a statement negative as early as possible. "Neither of them are level 6" is much better than "Both of them are not level 6", which is unnatural and a bit harder to follow to a native speaker's ear. | |
| Aug 23, 2018 at 12:34 | comment | added | RubioRic | I doesn't sound natural to me but I'm no English native speaker. As I have pointed you just have to remove the not from your initial "aren't" | |
| Aug 23, 2018 at 12:30 | comment | added | John Arvin | ”Because any of the two is not level 6 yet'' -Is this ok now? | |
