- The traditional rule also holds thatneither is grammatically singular: 传统规则还认为neither 在语法上是单数： Neither candidate is having an easy time with the press. 每一位候选人都被记者百般纠缠。
- However, it is often used with a plural verb,especially when followed byof and a plural: 但它常跟复数动词连用，尤其当后跟of 和一个复数名词时： Neither of the candidates are really expressing their own views. · 没有一位候选人真实地表达出他们的观点。 ·
- As a conjunctionneither is properly followed by nor, not or, in formal style: 作为一个连词，在正式文体中neither 后宜跟 nor 而不是 or ： Neither prayers nor curses (not or curses ) did any good. See Usage Note at either ,every ,he 1none ,nor 1or 1祈祷和咒语（而不用 or curses ) 都不会起任何作用 参见 either,every,he1none,nor1or1
