Bagus infonya gan, tapi kalo bisa ada translate nya pada contoh kalimatnya supaya yg pemula lebih paham gan, terima kasih 🙂
Terima kasih banyak, artikelnya benar-benar membantu. Tapi ada sedikit hal yang kurang tepat, terutama pada bagian neither … nor … .
Neither my parents nor my friends do not care to me.
Seharusnya tidak ada penambahan “do not” mengingat “nor” sudah bermakna negatif (tidak).
Pembetulannya:
Neither my parents nor my friends care to me.
Terima kasih.
terimakasih,,, sangat bermanfaan….
Itu ada yg salah bang. Neither tanpa not soalnya sudah ada Nor
