Neither.... nor

respected sir

is this possible?


John was neither on the swing nor the slide.


He walks neither to left nor right.



One another question.


He is the faster of two.

Why article "the" before "faster", which is a comparative degree of fast.

I have the imperation that "the" article is used before superlative degree of adject.
Please comment.
