Adj: This sentence is neither correct nor natural #1 (permalink) Tue Sep 19, 2006 4:43 am   Adj: This sentence is neither correct nor natural		  
Dear all,

Please rerad:

This sentence is not correct and natural.
=This sentence is neither correct nor natural.

Now, for the sentence:
This sentence is not correct, common and natural. (1)

Can I re-write:

This sentence is neither correct, common nor natural.

If not, how to re_write (1)?

Hi, Quoc! You may use neither...nor with two singular nouns. So this sentence
This sentence is neither correct, common nor natural. is incorrect

No, as Pamela mentioned, the word "neither" is used when there are exactly two things.

If not, how to re_write (1)?
