There are so few good programmes on TV that I rarely watch them.

I don’t think ‘either … or’ cannot go with positive ideas.
For example: Either he or I have to do the work.

  1. I’d like to try those shoes, please.
  2. You should not talk when the teacher is teaching. (This makes better sense)

Tuyet, I assume that you want to know why you cannot use You cannot talk when the teacher is talking. If so, I’d say that since talking is done to some particular person, you can use any of the following based on the situation and make it more suitable:

  1. You cannot talk (to someone else and cause disturbance) when the teacher is teaching.
  2. You cannot interrupt when the teacher is talking (to you or someone else).
  3. You cannot talk (to anyone else) when the teacher is talking (to a particular person).
