    Use:
    1) Both
    Both means two of two things.
    I have two cats. I like both of them.

    2) Neither
    Neither means not one or the other of two things.
    Neither of my cats is grey.
    Remember to use a singular verb after neither.
    Neither of the dogs are dangerous. => Neither of the dogs is dangerous.

    3) Either
    Either means one or the other.

    Form:
    1) You can use both, neither and either directly before a noun.
    Both supermarkets are good.
    Neither supermarket sells electrical goods.
    We can go to either supermarket, I don’t mind.

    2) Both, neither and either are often used with ‘of’. But you must always use a determiner (the, my, these,
    those, his etc) before the noun.

    Both of children like chocolate cake. => Both of the children like chocolate cake.

    However, you don’t have to use of with both.
