Proper use of subject-verb agreement
Has Ram or his friends come to school?
I am confused about the rule, which says when two subjects are joined by 'neither...nor', 'either-or','or' etc the verb follows the nearest subject (Ram) or the second subject(his friends) which one is correct according to the grammar?
What is the reason behind this difference?
Top answer
nor', 'either-or','or' etc the verb follows in number the nearest subject (Ram) That is the rule and that is also the reason.
- nor', 'either-or','or' etc the verb follows in number the nearest subject (Ram) That is the rule and that is also the reason.
