Best Answer

you use neither when none of them are correct and you use either when both can be correct. :)

2nd Answer:

"Either" goes with "or", as in, "Either you or I will go". That means one or the other.

"Neither" goes with "nor", as in, "Neither you nor I will go". That means that nobody will go.

I haven'teither / Neither have I." ("I have been to France. I have too / So have I.")"I can't see the screen. I can't either /Neither can I."Either is used with a negative verb; Neither is used with an affirmative verb.

How can you use nor in a sentence?

An example of using nor in a sentence would be: " They had neither fish nor cheese at the party." It usually has to be paired with neither to work properly in a sentence. Nor goes with neither. Or goes with either. The color, gray, is neither black nor white. I prefer either gray or black for lettering.

When do you use nor?

u use it when u tlk to ppl !!!!! When neither alternates fit. Neither/nor are basic conjugates to either/or. So, one can say, I like neither this, nor that. It'd be incorrect to say, I like neither this, or that. As the latter is in the affirmitive. Nor, cannot be used without an already rejected option.
