Neither me or neither I

Neither I nor my colleagues could see that coming.
I...could see

with I

No.

with me, for me, to me, about me, around me, beside me, under me, etc, etc.

The explanation is incorrect...neither is the subject
Neither....could see.

Neither....could see.

Anon,
Please research your answer before posting it. "Neither" has many properties. It can be a conjunction, adverb, adjective or a pronoun depending on how it is used and constructed into a sentence. But a subject! That's the first for me.

"Neither of them are going to the party."

What's the subject then?

Mister MicawberNeither I nor my colleagues could see that coming. I...could see

So, with neither...nor.... you don't need to invert the subjects, as in My colleagues and I went to the caféteria, but you can leave "I" as the leading subject, is this correct?

Thank you
H.

The choice of subject order is the same in both cases: the speaker as 2nd subject is, strictly speaking, more courteous, but it is a practice little followed in conversation.

"Neither of them are going to the party."What's the subject then?-- The grammatical subject remains 'Neither' and should take a singular verb ('is') in careful writing. However, many speakers are influenced by the proximal and/or notional concord of 'them' + 'are' and will say that in conversation with no harm done.
