Question

What is the difference between Whether... or.. and Either..... or...?

Answer 1

To me, either/or is usually used for objects/nouns and comparisons in direct statements while whether this/that is used for decision making and questions.

For example:

Either this coat or that one will work.

One can either go to school or get a job.

Whether you want to come over or stay home, the choice is yours.

You decide whether you want to become a doctor or a lawyer.
