  1. Chapter 9 Either/ Neither But

  2. Either/ Neither "Either" and "neither" are used in almost the same way as "so" and "too," but they are used with negative verbs. Examples: • I didn't get enough to eat, andyoudidn'teither. - or - • I didn't get enough to eat, andneitherdidyou. Pay attention to word order: • "Either" goes at the end of the sentence after the negative helping verb • “Neither" goes after the conjunction, then the helping verb, and then the subject.

  3. Either/ Neither When two situations are the same, you could write a sentence like this: • William doesn't work there, and John doesn't work there. But this is better: • William doesn't work there, and John doesn't either. - or - • William doesn't work there, and neither does John.
