##  [Subject-verb agreement: “Either” and “neither”](/en/quiz/jeu-quiz-verb-agreement-eng)

**Either** and **neither** are masters of disguise! They can be pronouns, in which case they’re singular. Or they can belong to a two-part conjunction (either … or, neither … nor) joining two or more subjects. In that case, the verb must agree with the nearer subject.

In the questions below, decide whether **either** and **neither** are singular subjects, or conjunctions joining subjects. And once you’ve figured out which word is the subject, pick the verb that agrees.
