conjunction, expressing a choice between two different cooking styles.

Example 2: "Do you prefer green tea or black tea?" "Either will be fine, thank you!" - "either", in this
context, is a pronoun referring to any of the alternatives.

Example 3: "There were beautiful posters on either margins of the wall." - also used as a pronoun,
"either" refers to "both" margins of the wall.

Example 4: "I don't want to swim, and my husband doesn't either." - as an adverb, "either" is used
in a negative expression, referring to a fact that is also true for somebody else.
 WHEN DO WE USE “NEITHER”

Let's illustrate, in the examples below, the appropriate contexts for "neither":

Example 1: "My wife doesn't like swimming, neither do I." - as an adverb, "neither" refers to
a negative fact, true for both people.

Example 2: "We were served two dishes, but neither was as tasty as we expected." -
a pronoun expressing a negative fact about both the alternatives, used with the opposite sense of
