He and She are going out together. (compound, thus plural, subject)
None of them is capable of making the exact statue. ('none' is the subject, and it is always singular)
Aren't I good ? OR Am I not good? (the second follows the rules but sounds very formal with the uncontracted 'not'. "amn't' or 'ain't' sound bad to most ears and 'amn't' is just hard to say, so alm

He and She means 2 people therefore we need to say are.

He and She are going out together.

If we used the word or then it indicate that there is only one person, but we do not know what *** therefore we would use is.

E.G

If He or She is coming please tell me.

When u make use of AND, it becomes plural form, then u must use ARE. But or/nor become singular form.. If the or/nor sentence is having both singular or plural, follow the nearest subject(plural/singular).. E.g.. He or she is going.... He or they are going........ Nither they nor he is.... Niether he nor they are.... He and she are....
