they compare two things. Either/or and Neither/nor. they match with conjunctions.
Neither indicates not one and not the other. either means one or one OR not the other.
"My mom hates either apples or bananas, I forgot which one."
"Neither apples nor bananas are my mom's favourite."
probably a bad response, sorry, but at least I tried :D
