Explanation:

• Neither of the negative sentences not. Either and neither are used to mean "also" in negative sentences.

• Although either and neither are used as "negative too", they follow different rules: Either is combined with a negative verb and comes at the very end of the sentence.

• Neither is combined with an affirmative verb and comes first in the sentence followed by the verb. The subject comes at number three.

• It is incorrect to mix neither with a negative verb.

• It is incorrect to employ either or as well in a negative sentence.
