Both可用作限定詞(determiner),解兩個、兩個都,如:
Both (the) women were French.(兩名婦女都是法國人)。
除了用作 限定詞外,它還可用作不定代名詞(indefinite pronoun),如:
She has written two novels, both of which have been made into television series
both其實也可用做副詞(在此不談)
但不論用做限定詞,或不定代名詞,both之後的名詞都要跟眾數形。
所以
Both (the) volumes remain constant.(the可有可無)
或
Both of the volumes remain constant都正確(留意要有the)
希望幫到你!
