Hi Lisa Cherry's example, "neither did he give me an answer." can also be worded as: "he didn't give me an answer either."

Hello Lisa_08, In your sentence " He didn't give me an answer neither" the usage of 'neither' applies a previous reference to something else that this person didn't do. For example that person was supposed to send you a certain email but he didn't and when you contacted him to ask why he didn't do as promised he didn't answer as well ,so you commented : "He didn't send me the email , neither did he give me an answer." "neither" here refers to the negation of a second action ,it is another word for "nor" used as a conjugation .

In standard English, neither on its own is used with a singular verb: Do not attempt to bring livestock or plant material into the country; neither is permitted. But in colloquial English, it is completely acceptable to use a plural verb: Neither are permitted. Similarly when neither is followed by of, it is common to use a plural verb: Neither of her parents are alive, but a singular verb is more appropriate for formal writing: Neither of her parents is alive. When it is followed by nor, the verb agrees with the noun or pronoun that comes after the nor. If this is singular, the verb is singular: Neither I nor your father was told about it. But if it is plural, the verb is plural: Neither the French nor the Italians have qualified for the finals. If one noun or pronoun refers to a male person and the other to a female person, it is permissible to use a plural verb and plural pronouns, in order to avoid the invidious 'he': Neither Beth nor Tim have collected their tickets.
