[فاطمة الزهراء]

like: i do not like playing either football nor music

I think you mean neither not either

[أسمـــاء]

I think you mean neither not either

thanks dear , but i have no idea about neither
what's the difference between either and neither?? and i always hear them using one of them (either , neither) ido't know which one with the word nor....
????

[Gentle Fist]

either and nor can't be in the same sentence
because either is a positive and nor is a Negative ....
you got me ?
u need OR with neither in positive sentences
and NOR with Either in Negative sentences

[فاطمة الزهراء]

u need OR with neither in positive sentences

Umm, as I know neither is always used with nor, isn't it?i

[black fox]

A Summary:....^ ^

nor: (used after"neither" or "not")........
Examples:....
He won't agree, nor me.....
I have neither time nor money...
He can't do it ;nor can I.....

neither: (cannot be used with a (negative) verb, because its meaning is negative)
neither means: not the one and not the other....
Examples:....
Neither leg was injured.....
Neither side scored a goal.....

Remarkable

and i agree too,
it depnds on the sentence itself
and i got this one too

Expression Example

both … and … - I like both cats and dogs


so - Jane likes cats. So do I

not … -either Jane dosen't like cats, I don't like cats either
either … or … - Jane either has a cat or a dog
neither/nor - Jane dosn't like cats. Neither do I./ Nor do I.
neither … nor … - I like neither cats nor dogs

hope i done something brilliant here
bye cherry

Aha, so for correcting that example, it becomes:

I like playing neither football nor music. i

[the Assassin]

Thanks you black fox and The Assassin for these valuable information ^^

So now we can say the diffrence between either/ or and neither/ nor is:

Either/or means "one, or the other, but not both". Its negative is neither/nor, meaning "none of them".i

yeah and it comes like
I like being nither fool nor selfish

So it's correct, thanks

but you do a mistake: neither not nither Lol i

[أسمـــاء]

forgive me but how can i use
neither alone without nor ,and so for either????

like here:
Neither leg was injured.....
Neither side scored a goal

i want a translation for the two

OK, here you are the translation:i

لم تُصَب أية قدم..
لم يُسَجَل أي هدف من كلا الجانبين..

مم لستُ متأكدة من ترجمتي للجملة الثانية

THANKS DEAR
I REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR HELP

sorry but you have'nt answered the first part of my Q??^^

[فاطمة الزهراء]

THANKS DEAR
I REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR HELP

sorry but you have'nt answered the first part of my Q??^^

You're welcome

Ummm, that depends

I think you can distinguish between them from the context

For this example: I like playing neither football nor music

Here you can't use neither witout nor because you don't like both of them, football and music.

But here:

Jane dosn't like cats. Neither do I.

There is one thing you don't like that is cats, so you have a choice, either you use neither alone or you use nor alone.



OK for this example: Neither leg was injured

There is one thing that isn't injured that is leg, so we use neither alone


But if we say: Neither leg, nor hands were injured

So we use neither with nor because not only leg wasn't injured the hands as well

And the same thing for either

I hope my explanation is clear, and if I do some mistakes I hope you or anybody correct it ^^
