and I are/am..

are. It's a compound subject.

But I have heard people say, "Neither you nor I am going to play this match."

Why in this example above we use 'am' after I while according to you we will use 'are' in the sentence I wrote in previous post? There's a bit confusion still.

Thanks

This one uses the rule for "neither ... nor ...", which does not occur in the original sentence.

The verb agrees with the subject after 'nor' in these cases.

Neither the children nor their mother is here.
Neither the mother nor her children are here.
Neither Henry nor I am ready to go.
