Neither of the candidates were/was satisfactory.
Neither Raman or David are/is going to do this job.
I don’t think either of them knows/know the truth.
Please guide me.
- Niether of the candidates was satisfactory.
Because “niether” is here subject.
Like: The cost of new cars is high.
Just, mind it, after the preposition single subject word never be counted.
- Niether—nor
Either—or,
after ‘or’ you must use singular verb.
And the last one, you can understand easily.
