Could you please tell me, which sentence is correct?

"They never go skiing and I don't either"

or

"They never go skiing and I do neither."

"I don't either" kind of sounds more natural to me, moreover, "never" is a negative word and we need to use the negative form of the verb "to do" (don't).

Is my assessment correct?

Best Answer

If you slightly change your second sentence they will mean the same

They never go skiing and I don't either.

They never go skiing and neither do I.

that none of you go skiing.

Using

I do neither

usually means you are denying a choice of two

Do you ski or climb?
I do neither, I prefer to walk.
