Please, could you tell me if the following sentences are right ?
I am not sure if my use of "both" , "either...or" and "neither... nor" is right .

- I like both reading and travelling
- Both of your bags are fine
- Would you like to drink either some coffee or tea ( Is it possible to say " Would you like to drink some coffee or tea" ?
- She wants to buy either that red t-shirt or that blue one
Do the following 2 sentences have the same meaning?

Answer

The first two sentences are correct.
Would you like to drink some tea or coffee - this is sufficient and simpler.
The sentence about t-shirt is correct.
I want to eat neither........ is more emphatic than -      I don't want to eat either
