Subject Verb Agreement

[gurpreet]

Keeping following two grammar rules in mind:

1. First person comes after second and third person

2 Plural verb should be placed after nor in a neither and nor sentence

please check the following sentence and give a suitable alternative construction

Neither I nor they are responsible for this.

Thanks

("Neither they nor I are responsible for this". "They" is third person, "I" is first person).

To Rusty,

Did you take into consideration the two rules I mentioned while correcting the sentence?

Thanks
