B. Rewrite the following sentences with the correct form of the verbs in the brackets.

a.      The invitation is for one person. I don’t mind whether you or she comes to the party.

b.     Neither the MPs nor the Prime Minister has felt regret for the party split.

c.      I don’t care whether he or she wins the lottery.

d.     Either the Kantipur or the República is used for the advertisement.

e.      She speaks in a strange accent. Neither I nor my sister understands her.

f.       I forgot whether the singers or the actress was given the Film Fair Award last year.

g.     Neither the tracksuit nor the pajamas fit me perfectly.

h.     Neither the gas fire nor the electric heaters are suitable for room heating.   

 

Tips (things to remember):

The subjects with either… or, neither…nor, whether ……. or etc., agree with the verb according to the second subject. (Or the verbs agree with the immediate subject)

Examples from the textbook (Page 32)

Neither she nor I am guilty.

I am not sure whether you or he has created the trouble.

Either the students or their English teacher is responsible for the misinformation.
