1)either指两者中的任何一个,neither指两者都不。作代词时,either,neither一般接单数动词。作限定词时,一般加单数名词。
【例如】
Either of them will be appointed Minister of Finance.Neither
of the two speaks English well.You must not favor either
side in the dispute.In neither case can I agree with you.
2)either...or表示两个或多个选择中的一项。neither...nor表示“既不,也不”。either...or,neither...nor连接的两个名词或代词作主语时,谓语动词与最靠近它的主语一致。
【例如】
He neither knows nor cares what has happened.Neither he
nor I have met such a beautiful girl before.He must be either
mad or drunk.Either she or you are to be blamed for what
has happened.
3)either表示也不,用于否定句。(too表示“也”,用于肯定句。)
【例如】
I don't like the yellow shirt,I don't like the green one,either.
4)neither可以引导倒装句,表示和前面的情况一致,而且前面为否定句。
【例如】
The organization had broken no rules,but______had it acted
responsibly.(CET-41996,1)A)neither B)so C)either D)bothneither引导倒装句,表示和前面的否定情况一致。so引导倒装句,表示和前面的肯定情况一致。either表示两者中的一个,both表示两者都。答案为A.
