1. The use of the word either.

pron.(pronoun).

When used as a pronoun, it means "whichever of the two" is used as a subject or object in a sentence to indicate the concept of singular numbers; The predicate verb is generally in the singular form when used as the subject, but the plural form is often used in negative sentences. Either can be used alone or in conjunction with of, which is followed by a plural noun or plural pronoun, but the of phrase can be omitted when the meaning is clear.

adv.(Vice-wheel coinage).

1. When either is used as an adverb, it must be placed after a negative verb or adjective to indicate "also (no)" to strengthen the tone.

2. either can sometimes be placed in a negative sentence after the noun in the spoken sentence to add a strong tone.

3. either can be used in conjunction with or to indicate "or..."Or....”。When connecting juxtaposed subjects, the predicate verb is generally consistent with the neighboring subject; Used in negative sentences, it means "neither (not)....(no)".

2. The use of the word neither.

adj.(adjective).

neither is often used before a singular noun without an article, and the predicate verb should be in the singular form.

pron.(pronoun).

1. When neither is used as a pronoun, it means "neither", which can be used alone, before a singular noun that is not modified by an article, a subject pronoun, a demonstrative pronoun and other qualifiers, and when used as a subject, the predicate verb is used in a singular form, and can also be used in conjunction with the preposition of, followed by a plural noun or a personal pronoun, and the noun must be preceded by a qualifier.

2. When neither is the subject, the predicate verb is in the third person singular form in most cases, but in neither of....It can be in the singular or plural.

First, the basic differences.

Both either and neither are used to refer to both, with either meaning "one of the two" "either" and neither meaning "neither". Both can directly modify the noun, but the modified noun should be in the singular form. Such as:

you may take either of the roads.You can go either way.

neither statement is true.Neither claim is true.

Second, the meaning is opposite.

neither can be seen as the negation of either, i.e. neither= not either. Such as:

i like neither book.=i don’t like either book.I don't like either book.

3. The connected words are different:

Neither is used in conjunction with nor, which means: neither. No, either is used in conjunction with or, which means: no. It is. Both are used to connect parallel sentences.

1. If two singular noun pronouns are connected as the subject, the following verb is singular.

Either Mary or Lucy is coming Either Mary or Lucy is coming.

2. If two plural noun pronouns are connected as the subject, the following verb is plural.

neither my parents nor my grandparents are coming。

My parents didn't come, and neither did my grandparents.

3. If a singular noun pronoun and a plural noun pronoun are used as the subject together, the singular and plural forms of the verb must be consistent with the nearest subject. (Proximity principle).

Either my parents or Lucy is coming Either my father or Lucy is coming.

Fourth, the usage is different:

either is used in a negative sentence to indicate "also (not)", and neither is used at the beginning of a sentence, in which case the sentence should be in inverted word order.

The "too" in a negative sentence does not need to be changed to mean the same thing as either, but their use depends on the situation of the sentence. When we want to express "too." also", we can use too to connect two juxtaposed adjectives, adverbs, or verbs.

For example, "he is too tall and too thin" means that he is too tall and too thin. When we want to mean "also", we can use either to mean either of the two things. For example, "i don't like either of them", indicating that I don't like any of them.

When we use a negative sentence, we need to use not to negate the verb or adjective. If we want to mean "no", we can ask Zhipei to use either to mean either of the two things, and add not to negate that meaning. For example, "i don't like either of them" can be turned into "i don."'t like either of them, not", indicating that I don't like any of them.

In conclusion, whether it is a positive or negative sentence, the use of too and either depends on the situation of the sentence. If we want to express "too." also", we can use too to connect two juxtaposed adjectives, adverbs, or verbs. If we want to mean "no", we can use either to mean either of the two things and add not to negate this meaning.

When used as the subject, it can be used alone or in conjunction with of, either, neither, and the predicate verb is generally in the singular form, but when these two are used as the subject in the spoken language, the predicate verb that follows it can also be used in the plural. For example:

either(of them)is ok.Either (of the two) will do.

As an object, it can be used alone or in conjunction with of, after a verb or preposition. For example:

i don't know which book is the better；i shall read both.I don't know which of these two books is better, so I read both.

i like neither.I don't like any of them.

As a definite sentence, either and neither are followed by singular nouns. For example:

on either side of the river there are a lot of trees.There are many trees on both sides of the river.

The sentence can be used as the subject, object and definite.

neither of the films is good.

Both movies are bad. (None of them are good).

either of the films is good.

as the subject, the predicate verb is singular).

One of the two movies is good.
