Both Jane and her mom have gray hair.
为什么BOTH放在名词的前面的?

解答:

both可直接放在名词前作定语。但如果名词前有其它限定词,如the, these,my或two等,则应放在这些词前面,也可以用both of加上这些词。如:可以说both(of)the books,both(of)his hands等。不能说the both books,his both hands等。例如:
Both(of)my parents work in a hos- pital.(=My parents both work in a hos- pital.)我父母都在医院工作。


both和代词连用时,应说they both(作主语),both of them(作主语或宾语),them both(作宾语)等形式,不能说 both they或both them等。例如:
We must thank both of you.(=We must thank you both.)我们应该感谢你们俩。
Both of us are from Canada.(=We are both from Cana-da.)我们俩都是加拿大人。
