Answer 2

(a) My father is a university professor.

(b) I don't like either of them.

(c) There isn't any milk here.

(d) Let me know who has come.

(e) it has been raining since.

1. In (a), even though university starts with a vowel, it does not have a vowel sound. Hence, we have used 'a' instead of 'an'.

2. in (b), the word 'either' is used when we are referring to a choice between two given options.

3. In (c), 'any' is used in negative and interrogative sentences while 'some' is used in affirmative and positive sentences.

4. In (d), 'whose' is the possessive form of the word 'who'. Here, we are referring to a person instead of a belonging.

5. In (e), 'since' is used to indicate an action that happened in the past and is still continuing in the present.
