We use both/neither/either for two things. You can use these words with a noun.
e.g.: Both restaurants are very good.
Neither restaurant is expensive.
We can go to either restaurant. I don't mind.
When you use both/neither/either + of, you always need to add the/these/those/us/them after of.
e.g.: Both of these restaurants are very good.
Neither of the restaurants we went to was expensive.
I haven't been to either of those restaurants.
You can also use both/neither/either alone.
e.g.: I couldn't decide which of the two shirts to buy. I liked both.
"Is your friend British or American?" "Neither. She's Australian."
"Do you want tea or coffee?" "Either, I don't mind."
