RULE NO 7. Deals with the usage of
"either" and "neither" with a plural verb
when followed by a prepositional phrase
starting with 'of.' This is often seen in
informal writing, especially in interrogative
constructions.
Example: Are either of you taking this
seriously?
Have either of you two clowns
read the aasignments?
RULE NO. 8. The conjunction ‘or’ does not
conjoin the subjects. When ‘nor’ or ‘or’ is
used, the subject closer to the verb
determines the number.
Example: Either of my brother or my sisters
are going to sell the house.

1. Neither John nor his friends (is/are)


coming to the party tonight.
2. Either the cat or the dogs (is/are)
responsible for the mess in the kitchen.

been misplaced.

7. Neither the cat nor the dogs (likes/like)

8. Either the car or the bicycles
