either…or…连接两个主语时,其谓语动词应与最近的一个主语在人称和数上保持一致,这就是通常说的"就近原则"。
例如:Either
you
or
I
am
going
there
tomorrow. 明天要么你去那里,要么我去那里。
注意:如果把上句变成一般疑问句,助动词形式与主语you保持一致,所以要用are提问,而不是am
例如:Are
either
you
or
I
going
there
tomorrow?
明天是你还是我去那里?
Either
you
or
he
has
lunch
at
school. 其一般疑问句应为:Do
either
you
or
he
have
lunch
at
school?
是你还是他在学校吃午饭?
either…or…意为"或者……或者……;不是……就是……"之意。表示两者之一,连接句子中两个并列的成分。例如:
When
the
girl
is
happy, she
either
sings
or
dances.那个女孩高兴时,不是唱就是跳。(此句中either…or…连接两个动词,因为主语是单数第三人称,谓语动词要用其相应的形式。)

若要对either…or…句型进行否定时,只需把either…or…换成neither…nor…即可。例如:
Either
you
or
she
is
good
at
drawing. 变为否定句应为:Neither
you
nor
she
is
good
at
drawing. 你和她都不擅长绘画。
还可以单独使用either,其意为"两者中的任何一个"。
例如:There
are
many
shops
on
either
side
of
the
street. 街道两边有许多商店。
或:There
are
many
shops
on
both
sides
of
the
street. 在街道两边有许多商店。
either用在否定句的句末,表示"也"的意思。例如:
If
you
don\'t
go
there.
I
won\'t, either. 如果你不去那里,我也不去。
以or后面的那个为基准.

Neither the boys nor Olivia eats mushrooms.
