Would you please explain why the sentence in italics is WRONG? You can find this sentence here:

http://www.quickanddirtytips.com/education/grammar/when-use-nor?page=1

He will study neither his lesson nor do his chores.

If I want to keep "neither", how should the sentence read?

Thank you.

@paok1970,
Why didn't you just read the explanation given immediately after the example you quoted?

@centrox,
I read the explanation but I'm still confused how the sentence in question should read.

He will peform neither of two actions:
1. Study his lesson
2. Do his chores.
He will neither [study his lesson] nor [do his chores].
