    When both take a noun as the subject, it is a predicate verb.

    It is considered plural because it is two people or things;

    When either takes a noun as the subject, the predicate verb is considered singular because it is any person or thing;

    When either takes a noun as the subject, the predicate verb is considered singular because there is neither of the two;

    When all takes a noun as the subject, it is necessary to examine whether the noun is countable or uncountable.

    If it is countable, it is considered plural, and if it is not, it is considered singular.

    When neither is the subject, it is a predicate verb.

    In most cases the third person singular form is used, but neither of, if of is followed by an uncountable noun.

    The verb is in the singular form, and if of is followed by a plural noun or pronoun, the verb can be singular or plural. In the Zhengwu style of playing, verbs in the singular form are more commonly used.

    When used as a pronoun, neither, means "neither", and can be used alone for non-article, possessive pronouns.

    When used as a subject, the predicate verb is used in the singular form, or in conjunction with the preposition, or in conjunction with the preposition, followed by a plural noun or personal pronoun.

    The noun must be preceded by a qualifier.

    neither of predicate singular numbers; neither of my brothers is a student。

    Example sentence: neither of them knows meNeither of them knew me.

    neither of my parents wanted me to marry him.Neither of my parents wanted me to marry him.
