first
ur first ex. might be ok
but the second one is not correct
**********************************
secondly
let me explain it my way and i wish u can understand it

"Both Either and Neither r used in negative statements, but the difference is in the second part where the word occurs
"بمعنى ان الكلمتين تستخدمان في الجمل المنفيه و الفرق ان either تستخدم لما يكون الجزء الثاني من الجمله منفي اما Nither فتستخدم في الجزء المثبت كما هو موضح في
الامثله"
و السبب في هذا التفريق اننا لا يصح ان نستخدم نفيين في جمله واحده فقولنا
neither does not Amal
هو خاطيء لاستخدام اشارتين للنفي
*****************
Let's start

Either
either is used in negative statments
e.g. i dont like songs and she doesnt either
e.g. Ahmed is not a student, and samer isnt either

points to be considered
1
when u use the negative particle "not" with the helping verb u can use either and not neither
المعنى انك اذا نفيت المقطع الثاني من الجمله تستخدم either
2
either follows the aux. verb or verb to be
like this: she doesnt either
not like this: either she doesnt
nor like that: she either doesnt
******
More examples to clarify it
Amal and Sara r not kind, and Nada isnt either
Maram doesnt want to go, and Sally doesnt either

*****************************************
Neither
neither is used in positive statements
e.g. i dont like football, and neither does Maha
e.g. boys r not nice, and neither are girls

points to be considerd
1
when u dont use "not" with the aux. verb or verb to be, u use neither and not either
المعنى انك اذا اثبت المقطع الثاني تستخدمneither
2
the aux. verb or the verb to be follows neither
like this: neither does Maha
not: Maha does neither
nor: Maha neither does

**********
More examples to clarify it
Amal and Sara r not knid, and neither is Nada
Maram doesnt want to go and neither does Sally

Finished

i wish i have helped u
if u cant understand this
just ask again and ill try to be here
wish u all the best

any more questions
???????????????????

i'll be happy to help u

hi there ...

today I have learned from you "Makkawiyah" the difference between NEITHER and EITHER ... but you didn't mentioned "too" !!!

I think I could help

As you say NEITHER and EITHER are used in Negative Sentences.

for example like what you did write: Amal and Sara are not kind, and neither is Nada.
Maram doesn't wanna go and neither does Sally.

But!! about "too", you can use it in Positive Sentences ... like:
Leana:I wanna go shopping.
Linda: And I wanna go too!!


that was when you use "too"
I hope i did it right!!
if it's there any mistake .. I please to any one could fix it up for me!!!
beside that ... am not an English Student ... it's just a hobby


and thanks

Makkawiah
u did great and perfect

I wanna give a hand too

so i will explain what is the difference between either vs too

either vs too

Either is used with a negative verb when you are agreeing with
.something someone doesn't do or like etc

For example:- B agrees with A in the negative

"A - "I don't like cheese." B - "I don't like it either

"A- "I haven't seen Lord of the Rings." B - "I haven't seen it either

Too is used with an affirmative verb when you are agreeing with
.something someone does or likes etc

For example:- B agrees with A in the positive

"A - "I love ice-cream." B - "I love it too

"A- "I've seen Gladiator." B - "I've seen it too

Hope u got the point
