It does not create a negation of both options.<\/p>\n<p>In the examples above, <em>either<\/em> is used to indicate <em>one or the other<\/em>. It is not meant to eliminate all possibilities or options presented. That said, constructions similar to the fourth example above are best avoided or replaced with the word <em>neither<\/em>.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>If you aren\u2019t going to the show tonight, I won\u2019t either.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&#8211; is better stated &#8211;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>If you aren\u2019t going to the show tonight, neither will I.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>When to Use Neither<\/h2>\n<p><em><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-1928 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/writingexplained.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/me-neither.png\" alt=\"Either or neither nor worksheets\" width=\"342\" height=\"99\" srcset=\"https:\/\/writingexplained.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/me-neither.png 342w, https:\/\/writingexplained.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/me-neither-300x87.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 342px) 100vw, 342px\" \/>Neither<\/em> can also be used as four distinct parts of speech: adjective, pronoun, conjunction, and adverb.

For example,<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Either she or they need the recipe.<\/li>\n<li>Either they or she needs the recipe.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The first sentence has the plural <em>they<\/em> closest to the verb <em>need<\/em>, so the verb is plural.<\/p>\n<p>The second sentence has the singular <em>she<\/em> closest to the verb <em>needs<\/em>, so the verb is singular.<\/p>\n<h2>Parallelism When Using Either and Neither<\/h2>\n<p>When you are using <em>either<\/em> and <em>neither<\/em>, you should be sure to keep the elements of you sentences parallel syntactically. For example,<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The audience was reimbursed either with vouchers or food.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&#8211; should read &#8211;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The audience was reimbursed with either vouchers or food.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In the first sentence, the two elements do not match each other.
