Tengo suficiente tiempo para un baño or tomar un bañarse

Question

Please could you review my sentence construction. I ahve enough time to have a bath or shower.

Thank you allllllllllllllll

Answer 1

I have enough time to either take a bath or a shower.

Can I quibble over where you placed the "either"?

If you place it before the verb I usually expect to see two verb choices.

Either speak up or shut up.

In your construction I think that "I have enough time to take either a bath or a shower" better defines the choices.

Yeah....I know...I'm affraid my writings are full of such mistakes (both English and Spanish)...thanks for the lesson.
