[@oxfordenglishnow]

Glad it was helpful!

[@LionEntity]

Thank you, however I am still having trouble with when the sentence is longer, for example: "it is neither this nor that, neither is it that nor this." In the second part of the sentence, do I reuse neither? Or do I just keep using nor, as in "nor is it that nor this"? Thank you!

[@oxfordenglishnow]

Hi Lion, I think it sounds better if you use "neither and nor" and not "nor... nor"
Hope that helps!
