For very formal English, we use " neither" in the sentence.

For example, I didn't read neither of them.

Didn't <------- negative neither

It is a good question but the answers are not that good.

I didn't read neither of them. (double negative)
It should be
I read neither of them.

唔得。
Either 係解單一（二揀一），
both 係解二樣都揀得。

Either 是指任何一方
Both 是指全部
