Key Points
When there are 2 different subjects that are joined by either____or/ neither____nor / not only____but also/ __or__ ,and are different in numbers, the subject closer to the verb decides whether the verb will be singular or plural.
- Examples-
- There
is/ are either some boys (subject closer to the verb ) or a girl in the class. - Neither the ministers nor the King (subject closer to the verb)
have/ has been arrested. - Not only Sapna but also her friends (subject closer to the verb)
has/ have come.
- There
- Here, the subject closer to the verb is 'Raju' and thus the verb ‘are’ will be replaced by ‘is’ to agree with the singular subject.
Hence the correct sentence is: Neither Amit nor Raju is staying with his parents in Mumbai.
