Neither... nor and The possessive adjective

[Jesus1]

Hello! How are you? Thanks in advance

1.- He doesn?t like playing football or rugby

2.- He doesn?t like playing neither football nor rugby.

Can I always use "...or..." and "neither...nor"
to express the same idea?

Are both of them the same?

My second question:

The possessive adjective

Where should I put the adjectives in
a case like this?

a.- Ann?s beautiful black cat.

b.- Beautiful black Ann?s cat.

I am afraid that the first sounds much better to my
ears, but I am not quite sure.

Hi Jes?s

Hope you're enjoying your evening. ;)

[Jesus1]

Oh my god!

What a big mistake!

Thank you very much, Amy!

By the way, could I use 'either' instead of 'neither'?

'He doesn?t like playing either football or rugby'

I think it sounds a little bit awkward.

Hi,
From the previous response I already know that the next sentence is incorrect because of double negative:
She has not participated neither in previous urology clinical studies nor in our studies.

...And what sounds better in English?

She has participated neither in previous urology clinical studies nor in our studies.
or
She has not participated in previous urology clinical studies or in our studies.
or maybe :-)
She has not participated in previous urology clinical studies and in our studies.

Thank you for your reply.

All are grammartically correct. However, the last one has a slightly different meaning than the other two.

I'd go with the second one, just for the sake of its simplicity and clarity.

Hope you could get a better answer from someone else.

I've given a similar answer -- in another thread.

Toja, welcome to the forums, but please don't post duplicate messages. Thanks.

Thank you for your comment.
Sorry for that. I was not sure if after such a long period (Sep 30, 2006 ) after the previous question, someone will look at this thread. Therefore I tried another one.

Sorry.

The thread was reinvigorated when you posted in it. ;D
