Neither... nor

[subhajit123]

Are there any differences between these sentences?

1- I neither did it, nor will do it.
2- I neither did it, nor will I do it.
3- Neither did I do it, nor will I do it.

All three are possible. Of the three, I prefer the third. I would, however, say "I haven't done it, nor will I" or "I didn't do it, nor will I".

There isn't any difference.

The second one is the most natural of the three.

Hi teachers, would it be also correct to say "I didn't do it or will do it"

 

[andrewg927]

No. But you can say "I didn't do it or I will not do it either."

"I didn't do it or will do it either."

That's wrong, Andrew. See ems's version in post #2.

Sorry, I meant to say "I will not do it either" and I saw ems' post and that was perfect but informally, "either" I think could be used.

EDIT: I don't recommend using "either" in this case. I would just say that it's not flat out wrong in my opinion.
