The term "neither" is used to indicate that two or more options are not applicable or do not apply. It often appears in sentences to express a negative choice between two alternatives. For example, in the sentence "I like neither apples nor oranges," it shows that the speaker does not like either fruit. In grammar, "neither" can function as a conjunction or a pronoun. When used as a conjunction, it connects two negative clauses, while as a pronoun, it refers to one of two items that are not chosen. This word helps clarify situations where options are limited, such as in discussions about preferences or choices.
