A conjunction is a word that connects two or more statements with a certain degree of truth or falsity. It can be used to create a compound sentence, which is a single, new sentence formed from two or more smaller sentences.
Neither...nor is a conjunction that expresses the opposite of the two statements connected. For example:
Neither the dog barked nor the cat meowed.
Neither John nor Mary arrived on time.
Neither the rain fell nor the sun shone.
Neither...nor can also be used to connect more than two statements. For example:
Neither John nor Mary nor Jane went to the party.
Neither the dog nor the cat nor the bird is sitting on the windowsill.
Neither the teacher nor the student was prepared for the test.
Remember:
Neither...nor is a conjunction, not an adverb.
It can be followed by a clause containing a subject and a predicate.
It is a logical connective that emphasizes that both statements are false
