EITHER/OR, NEITHER/NOR, TOO EXERCISE 1 (ESL)

Grammar review Either/or, neither/nor, and too

These three structures are used to add agreement or connect alternatives. Getting them right depends on whether the sentence is positive or negative.

EITHER…OR — connecting two positive alternatives:
“You can have either tea or coffee.” (one or the other)
“Either you apologise or I’m leaving.”

NEITHER…NOR — connecting two negative alternatives:
“Neither Tom nor Maria was there.” (not one, not the other)
Note: the verb agrees with the subject closest to it: “Neither Tom nor his friends were there.”

TOO — adding agreement to a positive statement:
“I like pizza.” → “I do too.” or “Me too.”

EITHER — adding agreement to a negative statement:
“I don’t like coffee.” → “I don’t either.” or “Me neither.”

Common error:
✗ “I don’t like it. Me too.”   ✓ “I don’t like it. Me neither.”
