Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Standing alone, the phrase, “both A and B” is correct usage. Your second phrase, should you use it, would be, “A and B are both…” because you have a plural subject.
Detailed explanation-2: -’Both’ as a pronoun As a pronoun, ‘both’ indicates that two items are being discussed and is therefore used in place of the phrase “the two.” The use of ‘both’ to discuss three or more entities is grammatically incorrect.
Detailed explanation-3: -We both applauded, and we stood up. We both clapped our hands, and we stomped our feet. They not only liked the movie, but they also loved the play.
