1.EITHER và NEITHER khi được dụng như một trạng từ thì chỉ có thể sử dụng ở thể phủ
định.
Ví dụ:* She can’t climb the mountain and he can’t EITHER.
* I wasn’t at the beauty contest and NEITHER was she.

* Thuy didn’t have her hair cut, NEITHER did her brother.
*

A: I won’t go overseas next month.

* She can’t ski and I can’t EITHER.
* The boy didn’t do his homework, he didn’t learn his lesson EITHER.
* He hasn’t been to Halong Bay and his sister hasn’t been there yet EITHER.
3. Các liên từ EITHER… OR…, NEITHER… NOR…, BOTH….AND…., NOT ONLY….
BUT ALSO…. có một quy luật chung, gọi là quy luật cân đối, nghĩa là trong câu kép
(compound sentence) hễ trong vế đầu hay mệnh đề đầu EITHER, NEITHER, BOTH,
NOT ONLY đi với loại từ nào thì trong vế sau hay mệnh đề sau OR, NOR, AND, BUT
ALSO cũng phải đi với loại từ đó.
Ví dụ:
* He speaks BOTH English AND French. (vế trước BOTH đi với 1 danh từ, vế sau AND cũng
đi với 1 danh từ)


* She NEITHER smokes NOR drinks. (NEITHER, NOR đều đứng trước động từ)
* He is BOTH deaf AND dumb. (BOTH, AND đều đứng trước tính từ)

BOTH.
* NEITHER enticement, NOR threat, NOR torture could make him supply any information.
5. Nếu chủ từ khác nhau về số (nhiều hay ít) hay về ngôi (person) thì động từ hiệp theo từ
gần nhất, tức theo nguyên tắc từ gần nhất (principle of proximity).
Ví dụ:
* NEITHER he NOR his friends were seen at the meeting.
* EITHER the boy OR his brothers have been there.
* EITHER you OR I am to blame.
* NEITHER you NOR she was wrong.
Tuy nhiên, người ta thường tránh lối để chủ ngữ như vậy và tách riêng chủ ngữ ra hai vế
khác nhau.
Ví dụ:* EITHER you are to blame OR I am.
* You were not wrong, NOR was she.
