Neither of them ____ playing basketball.填like还是likes?
问题描述：
Neither of them ____ playing basketball.填like还是likes?
我今天在做作业的时候对于一道题目不理解.
Both of them like playing basketball.（改为同义句）
_____ of them _____ playing basketball.
我填了Neither like,为什么答案是Neither likes?
我记得老师说过neither of 是不是也是用就近原则呢?
答
因为Neither of+sth表否定,且强调个体（体会与either的关系）,verb用单数好.至于neither A or B的确是就近原则.
