Either ..or Hi,
He can't write . He can't read.
Rewrite this using " either.................or"
Thanks :)

Re: Either ..or He can neither write nor read, assuming that the he in both sentences is the same person.

Re: Either ..or You have to use its negative form neither . . . nor, which stands for not either . . . not or. "not either" combines to form "neither" and "not or" combines to "nor", like this,
1. He can not (either) read => He can neither read
2. He can not (or) write => nor write
EX: He can neither read nor write.
All the best.
