 Re: Nor/Neither?
The confusion arises here because in neither do I/nor do I both neither and nor are conjunctions and essentially synonymous.
However, while nor can only be a conjunction, neither is also capable of functioning as an adjective or a pronoun:
neither person had the correct answer (adjective)
neither had the correct answer (pronoun)
In the expression neither... nor..., neither acts either as an adjective or a pronoun depending on the context. However, nor remains a conjunction throughout.
neither Jeff nor his sister were there
neither of them had a car nor saw any point in owning one |
