Monday- Grammar: either, neither

either = 1 of 2 options. Use

"Or" between options.
There are two cakes. You may have a piece of either.
I like vegetables, but I'm not very hungry. So I will eat either peas or carrots.

neither = 0 of 2 options. Use "Nor" between options
There are two cakes. I like neither of them.
I don't eat vegetables, so I will eat neither peas nor carrots.

If a sentence has "Not", we can't use "neither." We should use "either."

There are two cakes. I don't like neither of them.❌
There are two cakes. I don't like either of them. 👍

***

Me either / Me neither.

You can use these interchangeably for any negative situation.

I don't like Marvel movies.
- Me either. 👍
- Me neither. 👍

I don't want to go to work today.
- Me either. 👍
- Me neither. 👍

***

Practice. Use neither/either, nor/or

ex) I can't decide what to do today. I _________ want to go shopping _______ go to a movie.
Answer: either, or (two options, one choice must be made)

1) I just want to stay home today. I will _______ go to work ______ to the mall.

2) Sally doesn't like _______ John ________ Mark.

3) I'm disappointed because there are two cars for sale and I want _________.

4) Mary keeps herself busy by ________ doing chores ________ meeting friends.

5) Sean is still very young, so he can ride _________ rollercoasters ________ free-fall rides.
