It depends on whether the context is negative. "Nor" is used only in negative contexts. For example, you could say, "There is some news, but it is neither bad nor good." The word "neither" makes the context negative.

If the context is not negative, you should use "or". For example, you could also say, "I want to read the review whether it is bad or good."

Is this sentence correct neither he nor you are going to the party?

No, the correct sentence is: "Neither he nor you is going to the party." In this case, "is" should be used because neither "he" nor "you" is singular.


Is worser slang?

No, it's just bad grammar. Bad, worse, the worst. Instead of worse, worser, worsest as most other superlatives follow, like green, greener, greenest or dry, drier, driest. Adjectives for good and bad do not follow this format.


Is has being or have being correct?

Neither "has being" nor "have being" is correct. The correct form is "being." For example, "He is being helpful" is the correct way to phrase it, indicating someone's current state of being or behavior.


Is the statement 'neither my brother nor i am going to school' correct?

Yes, funny as it sounds. When both elements of a neither/nor construction are singular, the verb will be singular. And when a verb has two personal pronouns for a subject, it agrees with the closest one. So we would say Neither I nor he is going to school, or Neither he nor I am going...


Does the following sentence illustrate the correct agreement of subject and verb- Neither Bert nor Holly are going to the party?

No, the sentence should be "Neither Bert nor Holly is going to the party" to show correct subject-verb agreement. "Is" should be used instead of "are" because "neither" is a singular subject, so the verb should also be singular.
