"I can't either make a goal or win a race." Does it make sense??
Because of my poor motor skill,
"I can't either make a goal or win a race."
"I can neither make a goal nor win a race."
Are these sentences OK?
If so, which is more natural?
Thank you!

Hello Haruka,
Your second sentence is correct but needs a little modification.
"Because of my poor motor skills, I can neither score a goal nor win a race."
Hope this helps

Hi Haruka, the second sentence is okay, but I think "score a goal" sounds more natural. Also, it should be motor skills (not skill). Here are my suggestions:
Because of my poor motor skills, I can neither score a goal nor win a race.
Because of my poor motor skills, I can't score a goal or win a race.
Hope this helps.

Being not a native speaker, I'd chose the second one and say "score a goal" if sport games are meant
