Como usar "nor" ou "neither"? Uso "nor" no meio da frase e "neither" no início? Como usar?

Hopefully this is somewhat useful... "I neither swam nor ran today." Neither... Nor... "Neither of us know Chinese" Neither by itself. Nor is never by itself as far as I know.

You should also realise that colloquially, people might say "neither...or..." instead of "neither...nor...". It's not correct, but you should recognise it when you hear it.

Of course, I understand ... I'm studying and practicing slowly, some details I will learn at the same time. Thanks for attention!

More commomly also after a first negative sentence to add a second negative "I don't like getting up at 5 in the morning, nor do i like eating breakfast this early" Can also say "i dont like eating breakfast this early either" but is less elegant/more clumsy
