You can use both of / neither of / either of + us / them / you
* Both of them are friendly

both and * Both David and Peter are late.* He is both lazy and selfish.
neither nor * Neither James nor Lisa went by bus.* He neither spoke nor wrote to me.
either or * He is either old or young.* Either Susan or her parents are at home.
D) Compare: either / neither / both (two things) and any / none / all (more than two).
