The verb has to agree with the closest subject, being "I". That is, if you remove the other part of the sentence, leaving the closest subject, it has to be in sync. Let's take a look.
.....I "Are" wrong...✖️ ..... I "Is" wrong...✖️ ..... I "Am" wrong...✔️
Logically, "Am" agrees with I.. So it is, Neither you nor I AM wrong.
Same goes with.. I'm taller than "She/Her". You might think it is "I am taller than Her. But when you add the appropriate verb to the sentence, it becomes.. I'm taller than SHE is. I'm taller than SHE.✔️
Yes, madams. I tanda here just dey enjoy my Friday kunu this madam Stella come carry enter eighteen yard box. I come confuse true true. This one pass [sic] matter o Me I come see Oyibo wey wear pant tuck in wear slippers join. Like play like play, na so pepepepepepepe Chai stammering don catch me sef.
@Ceiling fan "Amu?" Na the thing wey dey hungry you be that? Make you no go thief persin amu come be amu robber MMmmmhhhh Girl wey dey run leave im chest, the thing wey dey pursue am dey long.
Shooter, the CORRECT answer, although it may be absurd is "AM". Neither you nor I Am wrong. Remove that "Neither you nor".... you will see that the right thing is " I Am Wrong"..and not "I is wrong".
@Shooter, You are too quick to call people daft meanwhile you are wrong. If Nither there is changed to 'Either'what will the answer be? Madam too know.
Either you nor I.....wrong Neither you nor I.. .. Wrong.
Aha all of them girls go soon dodge this Stella's "bullet" How? Of course, look as them all assume anonymous mode. Me I be anonymous tee tee. I go dey wait to arrest all of them. My hand dey my chin
No you are wrong! In any sentence that carries neither and non, the noun or pronoun after the ‘nor’ has to agree with the verb. Read the sentence after ‘nor’ it has to make sense. C is __is. Now read this, ‘I is wrong’ does that make sense? No. But this makes perfect sense ‘I am wrong’ Same with either and or. EX: Either you or Alex ___ wrong. The answer = is. Now read it after or : Alex is wrong.
Well done Sista Jane. The answer in 3018 will still remain "am". God bless our English teachers. SDK, if I catch that your "is" ikebe with better pankere! Lol.
Because of the unbelievable responses I was reading here saying 'am' is the correct answer, I actually now decided to Google it. Google didn't even mistakenly suggest 'am' as the answer so I'm wondering where this is coming from
Chai, this Olivia twist just dey throway bombs agharaghara Very [sic] ridiculous It is RIDICULOUS that you are committing more grammatical blunders on top of the first one. Those last two sentences that you wrote/examples are blunders Go and google this topic and learn. Just a piece of advice.
Answer :Neither you nor I is wrong To write this differently: 1.Neither of us 'is' wrong 2. Neither you is wrong nor I is wrong. If you say 'am' is the right answer..then you are saying: 1. Neither of us am wrong 2. Neither you am wrong nor I am wrong (this is certainly wrong..that rule you are talking about does not work in this case).

ReplyDeleteNone. The ans na neither you nor i dey wrong..
ReplyDeleteBecause of the unbelievable responses I was reading here saying 'am' is the correct answer, I actually now decided to Google it. Google didn't even mistakenly suggest 'am' as the answer so I'm wondering where this is coming from
ReplyDeletePls pls pls, I refuse to take 'am' as an answer.
Eka i also had to google it, type this: correcr this sentence: neither you nor i is correct
DeleteI am still amazed, but we sha learn everyday
You didnt google well
DeleteEven the question is wrong! It’s more logical to read “Neither one of us IS wrong”. The “IS” is more appropriate.
ReplyDeleteChai, this Olivia twist
ReplyDeletejust dey throway bombs agharaghara
Very [sic] ridiculous
It is RIDICULOUS that you are committing more grammatical
blunders on top of the first one.
Those last two sentences that you wrote/examples are blunders
Go and google this topic and learn.
Just a piece of advice.
Olivia sic?
ReplyDeleteMmmmmmmmhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
I taya o
The answer is 'is'.neither you nor I is wrong.shikena
ReplyDeleteThe correct answer should be neither you nor I are wrong........singular verbs usually go along side plural conjunctions
ReplyDeleteAnswer :Neither you nor I is wrong
ReplyDeleteTo write this differently:
1.Neither of us 'is' wrong
2. Neither you is wrong nor I is wrong.
If you say 'am' is the right answer..then you are saying:
1. Neither of us am wrong
2. Neither you am wrong nor I am wrong (this is certainly wrong..that rule you are talking about does not work in this case).
I'm learning.
ReplyDeleteUhmmm. English will not kuku kee us.
