Sample page from the 'Either... Or, Neither... Nor' grammar exercise series, featuring 12 sentences for students to complete.

Let's solve the exercise step by step. The task is to fill in the blanks with either...or or neither...nor, depending on the context.

🔹 Key Rules:

- Either...or: Used when one of two options is possible.
- Example: You can either stay or come with me.
- Neither...nor: Used when both options are not true or not possible.
- Example: Neither Ashley nor Samantha is tall.

Also, remember:
- Subject-verb agreement: With neither...nor, the verb agrees with the subject closest to it.
- Both structures follow the same pattern:
[First option] [either/neither] ... [second option] [or/nor]
