Watch the Subject-Verb Agreement

The verb agrees with the noun or pronoun closest to it.

Example:

The bus is not moving. The cars are not moving.

-> Neither the bus nor the cars are moving.

-> Neither the cars nor the bus is moving.

Example:

I do not like to eat spinach. I do not like to eat lettuce.

-> I like to eat neither spinach nor lettuce.

-> I do not like to eat neither spinach or lettuce.  X

The above example does not involve the changing of the verb. Rather, it involves the reverse action (do not like to eat -> like to eat). It is more applicable for P4 onwards, but if your child is in a top school, who knows ? The school might introduce such questions by end P3 to siff out the smarter children.
