Question

Explain the subject-verb agreement rule that applies to a singular and a plural subject joined by or/nor. Demonstrate your understanding of the rule by composing a sentence using the compound subject "Neither Tommy nor his dancers."

Answer 1

if the word "or" or "nor" are used to make a subject, the verb agrees with the subject that is closer to the word "or/nor"

ex: Neither the coach nor the **players** **are** on the bus. Since the plural subject "players" is closer to the word nor, we use the plural verb "are"

apply this logic to the example "Neither Tommy nor his dancers." and create a sentence using this rule.

Answer 2

Thank you so much.
