Either and/or neither
Hi. Do we have to mind putting the article in front of nouns when using either the word 'either' or the word 'neither'?
Let us pretend there is a pen and pencil and you need one of them to write and you need either of them.
A: I need either pen (a pen?) or pencil (a pencil).
Let us pretend there is a pen and pencil but you already have a pencil. You don't need either of them.
A: I don't need neither pen (a pen?) nor pencil (a pencil?).
Also, did I write my question on top of the post after the 'Hi' correctly?

Thank you. I looked at the dictionary and I think it said that the words 'either' and 'neither' are determiners. I the the words 'determiners' and 'articles' are pretty much the same and I also believe the words 'a' and 'an' are articles.
