With subjects joined by or or nor, the verb<br />
should agree with the subject closer to it.<br />
Examples:<br />
Neither the principal nor the<br />
teachers like the new budget cuts.<br />
Either her brothers or Tammy waters<br />
the front lawn every day.<br />
Psst! For a more natural-sounding sentence, place the<br />
plural part of a compound subject second. Example: Either<br />
Tammy or her brothers water the front lawn every day.
