Both boys are English.这句话对吗

Both of theboys are English.或者The boys are both English.原题：Both__（boy）are English只有填写boys了both的用法
My father and my mother are both from England（both放在系动词后,“都…”） =Both of my father and my mother/my parents are from England both的用法总结
both的用法有两种，它可以和名词、代词连用，也可以和动词连用，在句中作主语、宾语及同位语，也可作定语。现将其用法归结如下：
1)both与名词、代词连用
(1)both＋(of) ＋the/ 物主代词/指示代词+名词，如：
①Both of the cats are asleep. 两只猫都睡着了。
②I bought both of these bottles in China two years ago.
两年前我在中国买了这一对瓶子。
③Both of his daughters are doctors. 他的两个女儿都是医生。
(2)both直接修饰名词时，不加of。如：
①Both children won prizes. 两个孩子都得了奖。
【注意】不能说both of children，但可以说 both of the children. ②I've got oil on both hands. 我两手都是油。
【注意】不能说both of hands，可说both of my hands。
(3)在人称代词前一定要用both of，不能说 both we或 both us，但可以说us both, them both等。看第(2)点
