Hi Superbugs. Could you provide more information about your question?


Normally, we would say:
Why did you make that decision?

We could also say:
Why have you made the decision to listen to Ridcully rather than other teachers?

Hi

Good Morning.

I am not an expert but would like to try to answer your question.

From Longman Mastering English Grammar and Vocabulary, neither takes a singular verb.

From Practical English Usage, the verb can be singular or (in an informal style) plural.

Please refer to the reply from this link.

Also, you may wish to refer to rule 11 of this link.

So, I am more inclined to go for option (2).

Best wishes

Hi Tianzhu, no worries, I would appreciate any form of help. DS had the same answer as you but the answer sheet says (3). I had the same opinion as the above for the term 'neither' so just want to double check before declaring the answer sheet wrong...
