Joe doesn't like apples.

[Ju]

Joe doesn't like apples.
Jack doesn't like them either.

Are the above sentenced correct?

Thanks.

 

[Rover_KE]

Yes.

Some people may add a comma before 'either', but I like it as is.

 

[Ju]

Yes.

Some people may add a comma before 'either', but I like it as is.

But I heard someone said:

I don't like it neither.

Can you correct me please?

Thanks.

"I don't like it neither" is grammatically incorrect. You might hear it from little children who don't yet understand the intricacies of either/neither or occasionally from adults who were simply never taught the correct usage.

The following three exchanges mean the same thing as each other:

Do you like apples or pears?
I like neither.

Do you like apples or pears?
I don't like either.

Do you like apples or pears?
I hate both.

May I ask why can't I use 'said' instead of 'say" since I 'heard' it. It's the past incident.

Thanks.

The past is indicated by "I heard". In these constructions, only the first part takes the past tense. The second part uses the bare infinitive.

I saw him laugh.
We heard her cry.
She watched them sleep.
They heard him say "Yes".
He heard me tell the child to stop misbehaving.
