Either.... Or And Neither..... Nor

                 Either..... Or  And Neither... Nor


Either…or and neither…nor are correlative conjunctions. They are used to introduce alternatives.


                   ðŸŸ£   Either...... Or  🟣

⏺️  Either.... Or is a correlative conjunction.

⏺️   We use either..... Or to connect things which

are the same types, phrases, clauses  or words.

⏺️   means 'one out of two'.


Examples :

 1. Either he or his brother must have done this.

 2. Give me either freedom or death.

 3. Either he or his wife may attend the function.

 4. Either he or she cooks dinner.

          

               ðŸŸ£  Neither.....nor    🟣


⏺️    This structure  neither..... nor  is used  to connect

the same kind of word or phrase in the sentence.

⏺️  It is used to emphasize that two alternatives

are not possible, likely or true.

Examples :

1.  He neither came nor called.

2.  He will neither come here nor send a representative.

3. Neither my mother nor my father went to university.

4. We can neither change nor improve it.
