1036 - Either vs. Neither - What’s the Difference?

About this episode

This episode explains the differences between 'either' and 'neither' in everyday conversation.

I don’t smoke. Me neither. I don’t drink. I don’t either. Hmm… so which one is it? Either? Or neither? Or maybe a better question is - when should you use either, and when should you use neither? Should you say, “I don’t smoke either”? Or “Me neither”? Or maybe… “I don’t smoke neither”? Yeah… that last one doesn’t sound right. So what’s going on here? If you’ve ever felt unsure about using either and neither, you’re going to want to listen to this lesson. Because today, we’re going to look at how to use these words naturally in everyday conversation.
