Neither...nor

[Tara2]

Can we use inversion in 'neither...nor' structure or just that should be use in something like this "A: I don't like him. B: Neither do I."?

He neither desired heaven nor did he abhor hell. (2).

Are you not satisfied with the many responses you got from wordreference.com?

 

[teechar]

in 'neither...nor' structure or just that should be use in

That's ungrammatical.
I don't see a problem with your second quoted sentence.

 

[Tara2]

Part of speech of 'neither' and 'nor'

What is the difference between "neither" in these two sentences? And also "nor"s?
Neither do you do it. Nor do I.
Neither you nor I do it.

I asked in EO too.

Please do not open new threads on the same topic.

Can you provide a link?

Tara, please note that we comment on something.

He neither desired heaven nor did he abhor hell. (2).​

In archaic poetic (King James Bible-like) usage, I believe that the following works. Note the absence of do-support in both halves:

Neither desired he heaven, nor abhorred he hell.

That isn't a type of sentence that your ESL teacher will teach you.

It's not clear to me what you're asking, Tara2. Are you asking about sentences with the structure of Phaedrus' one in the post above?

If you make your own example, we'll tell you if it's right.

Is that really important for you?
I think the answer is clear there's no need to tell. I'm just wondering why Rover waste his time by veryfing other forums to see whether questions here are asked in ALL the other forums or not. When I see he answered a question, I'm sure it's just for this to say "The answer is asked also here ans here and here and here.....". What the hell does this has to do with you, Rover. If you don't want to help members, don't help, you don't have to, but why do you bother, upset, sad them?
You here are a moderator and have this wrong and hateful right, but why you do that in other forums, the answer is very clear: Just to bother others.

 

[Tara2]

By the way I'm not rude with anyone here and don't want to

NO, I prefer you to don't waste your time by veryfing other forums.

The contents of posts 9 and 10 that I have quoted above contradict your claim in post 11.

It's very simple. We make it clear that if you are asking your question on other forums, you should have the courtesy to provide a link to the thread on those other forums, along with an explanation of why you weren't satisfied with the responses you got there. It is a waste of our time and yours to answer a question that's already been satisfactorily answered elsewhere.

 

[teechar]

Tara2, I find it really annoying when I spend some time responding to a question only to find that 90% (or even all) of what said was already said elsewhere in reply to that same question. That's what we mean by wasting our time and that's why we ask members to give us links to where they may have already asked the same question, so that we don't needlessly spend time and energy duplicating an answer. Does that make sense?

 

[Tara2]

Yes, you should like each other posts.

Does that make sense?

No to that extent that you go seek all the other forums. that seems far far far away from just that you annoy with wasting your time.

 

[teechar]

Yes, you should like each other posts.

Sure because we're trying to emphasize the same point.

I certainly don't do that and don't have time for it either. :shock: I, along with other mods and admins, are active on a couple of forums, and that's how we come across the same questions being asked here and there.

Tara2, no one is trying to upset you. Cool down and try to see things in perspective.

Sorry teechar, I apologize you.

 

[teechar]

Sorry teechar. I apologize to you.

No worries at all. Let's hope that now you're neither annoyed nor disappointed. ;-)
And we look forward to more questions from you.

 

[Tarheel]

Three things, Tara. One, try:

Sorry, teechar. I apologize.

Two, for the record, I have answered two questions on WR. (I don't remember them, and I don't know how to get back on.) Three, how did you manage to post that icon? (It's way cool.)

I really didn't mean you, Tarheel. I just mean Rover. Although I am very sorry and I apologize to you all, to you, teechar, emsr2d and also Rover. You are like our teachers and you can also , we just should be thankful. I don't say this since want you to answer my questions, not really. I am just regret and sad by my words. I should be respectful to you not rude. But I was for a moment very angry when you said that I should post 2.
Please forgive me.

 

[Tara2]

Three, how did you manage to post that icon? (It's way cool.)

I just found that picture on the Internet and save it to my computer. Then I used "Insert Image" icon here.

 

[Tarheel]

I'm sorry, Tara. You misunderstood me. You don't need to apologize to me. Not at all.

For you:
