Greetings, you intend to use 'neither' as a conjunction, but it is a correlative conjunction ('neither... nor'). The 'nor' part is absent in your sentence, which makes it incorrect.
- Greetings, you intend to use 'neither' as a conjunction, but it is a correlative conjunction ('neither...
- nor').
- The 'nor' part is absent in your sentence, which makes it incorrect.
- The sentence would be 'saved' if you replaced 'neither' with 'nor', which can stand alone.
- If you persist in using 'neither', pair it with 'nor' in the following way: I am worried about neither what happened nor what will happen.
