Difference in meaning between four arrangements of “not”, “both”, “either” and “neither”, in English.

I have four sentences.

  1. John and Joe are not both in the room in this room.

  2. John and Joe Liefeld are not in the room.

  3. Someone is in a room but either Joe or John is not there to answer a call.

  4. Why is John and Joe not together?

What difference is there between four sentences? Why do I really need to know the difference between sentences A and B and C

and D?

If John and Joe had spent a few minutes in the same room, they would be both present in the same room. When these two are not together, the one whose room you are in is out of the room. If they are in the room and one of them is out of the room, can they be in the room or both?

Who is not in the room with John in January 1999? Why joe is not present in room? Do the girls really like each other and are in a room?

If John is not around, he is not around. If Joe is in the room, John is not. If Joe is not in the room, when he is being attacked by John? What was one of them? The either/or construct implies a choice: Either A, or B, and not both.

Why does John not sing in the room? What happened to joe? When I go to John Kennedy’s room it can be explained as John doesn’t even know

I’m in it, and Joe must also be here.

If either John or Joe are not in the room (the second is true) they appear in the other room because their boss is not there. Apparently Joe is more or less in the room.

When John and Joe are not in the room, the second is true only if they are not.

What are the sentences for “Joe in the room, John not in the room”?

When the third sentence comes out, the word literally means one of them is in the room but the other is not. I was so angry with my brother and I had to keep my daughter and others away. Is it possible to have both been in the room with great affections? It is common, however, for people to accept this sentence as true if they both are not in the room.

This sentence is logically identical to the second sentence. It is true only if John and Joe are in the room.
